Summer Serenade Coaching & Performance
13 & 27 August 2026, 7pm CET
As we close out our Summer Sessions, let us Serenade each other with a live performance.
We invite ALL of you to perform!
Wish to perform on 27 August? What you have to do:
- Choose a piece of no longer than 3 minutes to play for Sir James, Lady Galway and our class with or without your own accompaniment.
- As places are limited, those wishing to perform live must submit their choice of repertoire with timing by email to info@galwayfluteacademy.com by Friday, 21st August.
- We will do our best to accommodate as many of you as possible to perform, but please note it will be on a strickly ‘first come first served basis’, so the sooner you book your place for this event, the better.
Tips for choosing your repertoire and performing:
It is always better when performing in public to play a piece you are very comfortable with and better yet if you have been coached on one of our previous sessions. No need to pressurise yourself!
