Oliver Cole

Lenny Chen

The October IMA will feature a very special performance by the very talented young pianist Lenny Chen. 14-year-old Lenny will play solo piano works by Schumann and Scarlatti.

Sligo Baroque Orchestra will perform Joseph Haydn’s Symphony No.6 “Le Matin”.

Making his IMA debut will be singer-songwriter Oliver Cole. Oliver first began to attract serious notice as the front man of Irish three-piece Turn. This Sunday he will perform a selection of his new work. He has just released his new single entitled “Caroline”, and his latest album “Wingspan” is currently available.

Foam will be open from 12 noon serving a selection of refreshments and lite bites.

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.

Sponsors & Partners

Informal Music Afternoons are produced by Sligo Baroque Orchestra in partnership with The Model and are supported by The Arts Council and Sligo County Council.
