Coming Soon....

Creating new worlds for Culture Night 2022...
I'm really excited to be working on this project to bring you into the unique world of Ulysses. Mixing spoken word, contemporary classical and traditional music as well as elements of sound art to create an immersive series of invisible sonic spaces in Tuam, and hopefully New York, this is a project that has been simmering in my head for quite some time!
Tickets are limited, so sign up to the mailing list to get first choice a full day before they go on general release!
Thanks to Galway County Council for their support of this project.

About me...

I am a musician/composer/creative curator living and working in Galway, in the West of Ireland. Alongside my professional conducting work, I create music projects and site specific compositions and experiences, using performance as a catalyst for creativity.
My musical training was in the UK with a BMus in composition and violin performance from City University London, and an MMus in conducting from the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester. But it was my experiences living in Berlin that really shaped my musical life.
Now I'm back home in Ireland, and enjoying building a varied career as a conductor and creative musician.
To learn more about my conducting work, visit my website www.sineadhayes.net.

sølstrek: definition
“sølstrek is a Norwegian word meaning 'silver streak'. The vast Norwegian landscape, with its big skies and dramatic scenery, reminds me of the West of Ireland. These places inspire me as a composer and musician.” - sølstrek
