Young Japanese musicians from the Higashikawa Band have ended their visit to Galway with an incredible concert at Galway Cathedral.
The performance on Sunday was a feast of music from Ireland and Japan, featuring the Higashikawa Band alongside students from Athenry Music School, the Galway Chamber Choir and St Patrick’s Brass Band.
The visit and concerts were curated and artistically directed by Professor James Cavanagh in collaboration with Claddagh School of Music, Athenry Music School and St Patrick’s Brass Band.
The Higashikawa Band visited Ballinasloe Secondary School, Claddagh National School and Coláiste Bhaile Chláir last Thursday and the band is now in Dublin where they will perform this evening.
