Resurgam is thrilled to be the new artistic directors and management of Galway Early Music Festival (GEMF) from 2024, taking over from Maura Ó Cróinín, who steps down after 18 years.

​

Mark Duley, director of Resurgam, explains that “in recent years, Resurgam has been privileged to perform regularly at the festival and I have often marvelled at the unerringly imaginative themes and programmes Maura Ó Cróinín has devised. The superb array of artists from all over the globe have hugely enriched Galway and Ireland’s cultural landscape. We greatly look forward to continuing that legacy.”

​

Looking back over her years of organising the festival, Maura said, “I have had such a wonderful time being a part of the Galway Early Music Festival since the very first year in 1996.  I have worked with amazing international, national and local artists, colleagues, and volunteers. It has been thrilling to see interest in early music performance blossom in Galway and throughout Ireland. I look forward to the next decade of the Galway Early Music Festival under Resurgam!”

​

With Resurgam taking up the baton, the company looks forward to ensuring this jewel of a festival continues to shine brightly with its core focus of bringing world-class music to audiences across Galway city and county.
