Anúna
19 October

The music of the ancient Celts has been all but lost except for a handful of strange and beautiful fragments. Anúna was founded by the young Dublin composer Michael McGlynn in 1987 to explore and redefine this music, which has been a significant part of Ireland's rich and turbulent history.

Michael McGlynn set up the group primarily to perform his own award-winning arrangements and original works, and he has developed a uniquely personal musical vision for Anúna. In contrast, John McGlynn provides all the artistic staging that has enthralled audiences world-wide, with the use of cloaked, candle-lit procession, and his unique ability to adapt any space to the special needs of the group.

The haunting sound-world created by Anúna breaks down the barriers between the spiritual and the sacred, the real and the unreal, putting them very firmly at the front of the musical renaissance now coming from the Celtic lands.

This is Anúna's first visit to Galway since 1994. The concert venue is St. Nicholas Church, at 22:00. Tickets 16 euro, (concessions available) from Mulligan, Middle Street, Galway.
