In celebration of Biodiversity Week 2025, young musicians from three Galway city primary schools will present original songs inspired by nature, biodiversity, and climate action. The performances are part of Music in Nature, a creative music project delivered by Music Generation Galway City and supported by Galway City Council
Now in its third year, Music in Nature was developed by musician educators Caroline and Colin Stanley with Music Generation Galway City, and is run in collaboration with Radharc na Mara Mervue School, Mercy Primary School, and Castlegar National School. The project engages students in weekly workshops exploring environmental themes through songwriting, performance, and musical collaboration.
