Concert

17 April 2025 at 7.30pm

We were happy to host Anna Livia Creative for a special evening of poetry and music by the great Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca on Thursday, April 17th at 7.30pm.

The beautiful Spanish folksongs of Lorca were performed by renowned soprano Elizabeth Hilliard and Ireland’s leading classical guitarist and composer Benjamin Dwyer. Irish actor and spoken word artist Nicole Rourke recited some of Lorca’s most iconic poems in English. Monica Galindo of the James Joyce Centre recited some of his poems in Spanish. We heard the exciting rhythms and colours of some of Lorca’s finest poems in Spanish narrated by Andalucian journalist Antonio de Linares.

The James Joyce Centre is supported by the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media.
