Welcome to Con Brio, Sligo Music Series
Music has been the one constant in my life – when I was a child I listened to the music my parents played and sang at home; then I began to play music myself and listen to my own choice of music. Every day still I listen to music but some of my fondest memories are of live performances I attended, whether given by classical, jazz or even rock musicians. There are few experiences to match being grabbed and moved and taken somewhere by music – this is why what Con Brio does every season is so important, it gives us the chance to experience wonderful music performed by outstanding musicians and the opportunity to be, for a moment or even an hour, transported. In times of hardship or chaos art becomes more important, not less so: it allows us hope and connection with others like us who, throughout history and around the world have wanted, enjoyed and been moved by good music.
