Sligo International Chamber Music Festival

The Model is delighted to welcome a festival for all generations! Established in 2000 at St. Columba’s Church in Drumcliffe, the festival has become one of Ireland’s leading international chamber music festivals. Under artistic director Tim Vogler, the festival offers the opportunity to experience high standards of programming through a fresh choice of artists performing alongside our internationally acclaimed ensemble-in-residence, the Vogler Quartet.

Significantly, Music Generation Sligo has come on board as a key partner with Sligo County Council Arts Office to develop *Tuned In!* – an innovative youth programme with Youth Curator Aoife Ní Bhriain.
