Visit Sligo this May Bank Holiday Weekend to celebrate the 20th Sligo
International Chamber Music Festival. Artistic Director Tim Vogler
presents another ambitious high-quality programme which sees
the return of many festival favourites from the past 20 years – both
musicians and music – performed by and with the internationally
acclaimed ensemble-in-residence, the Vogler Quartet.

The 20th year also sees two very special new events funded by
Sligo County Council’s Creative Ireland Programme 2018-2022: The
premiere of Nick Roth’s Second Quintet for Accordion and String
Quartet commissioned by the Festival. Join us on Saturday for music,
poetry and art curated by poet Gerard Smyth to honour the late Seán
McSweeney, a great friend since the festival first emerged in 2000.

The festival features the successful Tuned In! Youth programme

co-funded by the Music Generation/Arts Council Partnership, in
association with Music Generation Sligo. This unique and innovative
programme is curated by Professor James Cavanagh from the Royal
Irish Academy of Music.

Taking place in St Columba’s Church Drumcliffe and The Model,

Sligo International Chamber Music Festival is one of Ireland’s
leading chamber music events. Festival Season tickets and Day
Saver tickets will be on offer to save and savour the full weekend –
the ambience of Drumcliffe, the contemporary environment of The
Model and the restaurants, shops, beaches and walks of Sligo.

As the producer of the festival, Sligo County Council Arts Office

full 20 year festival history: Vogler Quartet, Arts Council of Ireland,
