The Luminosa String Orchestra with
Guest conductor - Christopher George

The Luminosa String orchestra are back with a long-awaited concert in their home town of Galway, this time under the baton of celebrated conductor Mr Christopher George.

Their programme - Bláthú (flourishing) has been curated around the idea flourishing, as humans, as an organisation and as an orchestra. The term is taken from positive psychology and relates to development, accomplishment, growth, and positivity.

A stunning programme of powerful and beautiful music.

"The pieces of music we have chosen illustrate flourishing in several ways, that of music developing from quartets to become string orchestra repertoire, that of the accomplishment of having music published, especially lesser-known composers, and that of the development of our orchestra as a concept, a community and a diverse and equally minded group who commission and perform new Irish music.

We hope that this concert series will provide a metaphor for growth, positivity...
and flourishing."
