FRIDAY 17 JANUARY TO SUNDAY 19 JANUARY 2025
TOWN HALL THEATRE

This January we celebrate 150 years since the birth of Maurice Ravel, one of the most original and sophisticated composers of the twentieth century. Our Midwinter Festival presents a wide-ranging survey of his solo piano, chamber and vocal music, as well as a new choreography of his world-famous Boléro, in partnership with Galway Dance.

We have invited Swiss pianist François-Xavier Poizat – currently recording all of Ravel’s piano and chamber music – to perform the bulk of the programmes together with violinist Gwendolyn Masin and cellist Benedict Kloeckner. Irish mezzo-soprano Gemma Ni Bhriain will perform a selection of Ravel’s songs.
