This concert has been curated around the idea of coming home. This can mean very different things to us at different times, but at the heart of Luminosa’s curatorial approach is the idea of being based in Galway and having local and international talent; a confluence of artistic excellence from around the world coming together to create a memorable evening of live music making especially for Galway audiences.

Bach Concerto for Three Violins, Tchaikovsky Souvenir de Florence, T.C. Kelly Three Pieces for Strings.

Luminosa’s 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.
