Variety and quality on menu as music series is ‘back live’

Three Kinds of Music, the popular Galway Music Residency multi-genre ‘music-tasting’ series, which had moved online due to Covid will return live from this Saturday, December 4. Three concerts have been planned for December and the first will take place in The Hall of the Red Earl at Druid Lane this Saturday at 3pm when musician and broadcaster Ruth Smith, who presents the RTÉ radio programme Simply Folk will be the guest curator.

Ruth has invited Ruth McGill (soprano) and Niall Kinsella (piano), to take part and they will perform a set of songs by German composer Kurt Weill. Clare singer-songwriter and guitarist Síomha is also taking to the stage with her unique mix of folk, jazz and soul. ConTempo Quartet will take the traditional reins with a performance of Dave Flynn’s The Cranning and other Irish tunes.

On Saturday, December 11, at 3pm the second in this series of shows will take place in Druid’s Mick Lally Theatre. Curated by jazz musician Aengus Hackett, it will be an exploration of climate change and the disappearance of the natural world.

Aengus’s selection of musicians will include uilleann piper, pipe-maker and former botany professor Eugene Lambe and renowned jazz pianist Greg Felton. The ConTempo Quartet, who perform regularly at these concerts will discover some of the wildlife hidden in the classical music repertoire.
