Cellissimo: The Cello Exhibition kicks off on Thursday 25 March and highlights the Galway Cello, a cello fashioned of timber grown in Co. Galway (concept by Philip Fogarty), commissioned by Music For Galway for #galway2020 from luthier Kuros Torkzadeh.
It will document the creation of the cello from Galway sourced timber, and its connection to a classic 1710 Stradivarius Cello which once belonged to the Gore-Booth family of Lissadell House, Co.Sligo.
Curated by Rob D’Eath, the exhibition was specially devised for CELLISSIMO as part of the Galway 2020 European Capital of Culture programme. The Galway Cello is sponsored by MJ Conroy
Other highlights of the exhibition include:
