“Songs of the Deep” a unique blend of music and marine science will take place in Galway on Thursday 31st January at 7.30pm in St. Nicholas’ Collegiate Church. Entry is free and open to all members of the public.
While science and music rarely share the same stage, Galway will be the venue for a unique experiment in collaboration when three marine scientists explore the synergies between science and art in a celebration of Galway’s position as a “gateway to the deep Atlantic”.
The night will feature presentations by Professor John Delaney of the University of Washington combining poetry, scientific information and stunning underwater photography. Music will include traditional Irish music and Chamber Choir Cois Cladaigh, with conductor Brendan O'Connor.
This unique event, complemented by the wonderful atmosphere and accoustics that St. Nicholas' provides, will be well worth attending and those interested are advised to come early to be sure of a seat.
