This afternoon some of our music students were treated to a private workshop alongside Ms Gibbons from Music group Genticorum.
Music Network is Ireland’s national music touring and development organisation, founded by the Arts Council in 1986. We develop and run programmes that make high quality live music accessible to communities throughout Ireland and help musicians to develop fulfilling careers.
Music Network presents multi-award-winning folk ensemble Genticorum here in Scoil Mhuire NS Clifden.
