NUI GALWAY’S Medical Orchestra will play the university’s Bailey Allen Hall on Thursday March 22 at 8pm for the final Arts in Action 2012 concert.
The Medical Orchestra, formed in January 2011, under musical director Carl Hession, is made up of young medical students, some of whom are past pupils of The Jes, as well as some senior lecturers, and a choir of Malaysian students.
The programme for the upcoming concert will feature traditional works with special guests Dr Seamus McGuire on violin; Cois Cladaigh Choir with director Brendan O’Connor; singers Lillis O’Laoire and Mary McPartlan; and the TG4 Young Musician of the Year and NUIG student, piper Pádraig Keane. A choral ensemble from the Jes Secondary school will also perform.
The concert is a fundraising event for the local Jesuit Secondary School Building Fund (Coláiste Iognáid ).
Admission is €15 but NUIG students can get in free provided they have ID with them. Tickets are available from the Jesuit School office or on the door on the night.
