Music is for everyone. No matter how old you are, where you are from or how much change is in your pocket, music is yours. The relationship we have with music is deeply personal and unique, and when it is nurtured and given the freedom to grow it can enhance our lives beyond imagination. Everyone should have the right to listen to, learn about and love music. This simple belief is the driving force behind everything the Galway Music Residency aims to achieve. It exists to serve the people of Galway city and county, providing opportunities for all to experience music in new and unexpected ways, to learn from inspiring musicians and spark joy in their lives.
