Lines of Listening

Artist Maeve Curtis and Author Mike McCormack lead these deep listening workshops where participants respond to this season’s music through mark-making either in paint or in words – exploring process, reflection and connection. This session of Lines of Listening will focus on our October programme 'Going Coastal' where we explore Italy’s string quartet tradition in conversation with the Portuguese saudade, alongside Irish composer Marion Ingoldsby’s String Quartet No. 2 Open to all. No experience needed. Materials provided. A maximum of 16 places are available per session so early booking is advised. If you have any needs or requirements that we can support you with, please let us know at [email protected] MusicConnects is where music, community, and place come together. We exist to make exceptional music and musicians a vibrant part of everyday life, reaching people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities across Galway City and County. A music residency programme rooted in the soul of Galway, our identity is inspired by connection, between people, past and present, and between music and place. We bring music and musicians beyond the stage, into schools, nursing homes, community halls, and public spaces. We nurture young talent, support emerging artists, and collaborate across art forms to create experiences that are as meaningful as they are memorable. MusicConnects is music that moves Galway emotionally, socially, and culturally. For more information and events visit www.musicconnects.ie
