In case you missed the Star+ Music by the sea.

Music by the sea

Music Matters, a school of music in East Galway, founded by Marie O’Dwyer of Courtmacsherry, will celebrate 30 years of music education and music playing this year. Their first event is a concert tour to Co. Cork, featuring a concert in the Courtmacsherry Community Centre on Saturday 7th February at 1.00pm and another in the Cork School of Music on Sunday, also at lunchtime. The tour group will include children between ages 6 – 17, playing a range of string instruments and piano.

Since woodwind, brass and Suzuki violin classes were first introduced by Marie and her husband Tom Mac Lochlainn to St. Killian’s College, New Inn, Co. Galway in 1985, Music Matters has grown and expanded whilst enjoying successes on the way.

Music Matters have always had a number of orchestras and ensembles for students of various ages and have performed all over Ireland and in Edinburgh. In 2014, they participated in the Galway MEP composer-in-residence project with Scottish composer James Ross.

Music Matters are looking forward to their concert tour and visiting Courtmacsherry. This is a unique opportunity for adults and children of this area to enjoy a wonderful lunchtime concert. Admission is free but a donation towards the upkeep of the Community Centre will be appreciated.
