The July Informal Music Afternoon will feature pianist Aileen Cahill joined by two members of the Con Tempo String Quartet Andreea Banciu and Adrian Mantu performing works by Brahms, Paganini, and Schubert. Andreea and Adrian's daughters, Clara and Sophia will also perform as student cellist and violist with accompaniment from Aileen Cahill. Recorder players Lucie O'Hara and Anette Kirby will perform with cellist Anna Houston and Rod Alston harpsichord a piece by Henry Purcell, and will also give the first performance of Gothic Quarter Cobblestone from Barcelona Miniatures by Sligo composer Emma Purcell. And, Felip Carbonell, a frequent contributor to IMA programmes will accompany himself on this occasion offering a rare review of some of his solo work.
Informal Music Afternoons are produced by Sligo Baroque Orchestra in partnership with The Model and are supported by Sligo County Council.
Ósta@TheModel will be open from 12 noon serving refreshments and a selection of lite bites. The concerts start at 1pm, but we recommend coming at 12.30pm so you can enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine from the wonderful café prior.
About the IMA
Informal Music Afternoons are a series of monthly events, presented in partnership with Sligo Baroque Orchestra, where an eclectic mix of music is performed in a welcoming format in The Model’s Atrium space. The Informal Music Afternoon is an ideal way to spend a calm Sunday afternoon. The idea behind this event is to make classical music accessible for all, by means of an informal concert with a relaxed atmosphere in a cafe-style setting. Musicians perform classical works in addition to a non-classical section – often folk, traditional or jazz.
