John Feeley to perform free lunchtime concert

THE GALWAY Music Residency will present Irish guitarist John Feeley at its next lunchtime concert on Tuesday in the Town Hall Theatre. Feeley will be performing a selection of works by J S Bach; Adagio and Fugue from Violin Sonata No 1 in G minor (BWV 1001 ), Cello Suite No 1 in G major (BWV 1007 ), and Chaconne in D minor from Partita no 2, (BWV 1004 ). He will preface the performance with a short talk about the music.

Described in the Washington Post as ‘Ireland’s leading classical guitarist’ and by Michael Dervan in The Irish Times as ‘a trailblazer . . . when it comes to guitar and guitar-playing in Ireland’, Feeley has performed with the American Symphony at Carnegie Hall, the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, the Ulster Orchestra, and the Irish Chamber Orchestra, among others. He has won a number of prizes in international competitions, including the special award for interpretations in the 1984 Mauro Giuliana competition, Italy, and is a regular performer at many international guitar festivals.

The performance takes place from 1.10pm to 1.50pm and entry is free but early arrival is advised.
