The 61 members of Sligo Youth Voices are delighted to give a free public concert in the old City Hall (no booking required). The young singers with support from Music Generation Sligo have been engaging with Baroque music and receiving tuition from Festival artist mezzo-soprano Sharon Carty. Together with members of Westland Baroque ensemble, they will perform Handel pieces including the Hallelujah Chorus and O Lovely Peace.

Music Generation Sligo provides opportunities to all children and young people to access and participate in high quality music performance education that will encourage and inspire Sligo’s future young musicians. This year for example Music Generation are supporting the Festival to bring engaging workshops to schools in Sligo, where local children will hear live performances on Baroque instruments and get to interact with the music and musicians in a familiar setting.
