The Luminosa String Orchestra – Bláthú

Candlelit concert at St Nicholas’ Collegiate Church

Luminosa is delighted to announce its next concert in Galway on Friday 19th April at St Nicholas’ Collegiate Church – Bláthú (Flourishing)! Part of the Seaspray Private Concert Series.

Luminosa has been delighting audiences since 2018 with high-quality concerts created with an innovative and original curatorial approach. Their concerts feature lesser known works and many Irish composers, alongside pillars of classical string repertoire, all brought back into the light and performed with freshness and verve. They commission new Irish classical works regularly and seek to curate music programmes with a theme or connection which resonates with new and existing audiences alike, bringing together many eras of music, with real meaning; a balm for the soul through the times we live in.

Their performances are compelling, powerful and heart-rending. Their musicians are highly skilled and equally seasoned classical, romantic or early music practitioners and delight in playing a wide variety of music on modern instruments. Led by Paul Ezergailis, concertmaster of the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra; the orchestra’s section leaders comprise the members of the renowned ConTempo quartet, and also featuring many noteworthy string players on the Irish stage. Coming to a Luminosa concert means coming to witness a passionate manifestation of live music making by world-class musicians and we are proud to be based in Galway.
