Vibrant March programme at Mayo arts centre
AS always, there's a diverse mix of events to experience at the Linenhall this March, with a vibrant blend of music, film and live performance set to captivate audiences in Castlebar and beyond. From evocative cinema to timeless pop nostalgia and classical piano recitals, an exciting schedule of events awaits at one of Mayo’s leading arts venues.
The Linenhall Film Club continues its popular Tuesday screenings with Young Mothers on Tuesday, March 24. This compelling and compassionate drama offers a deeply human exploration of motherhood, resilience and hope. As always, film club screenings provide audiences with thought-provoking storytelling from around the world in an intimate setting.
Continuing its partnership with the IFI, the Linenhall will also host a series of school screenings with The Marching Band / En Fanfare and Savages/Sauvages on March 18 and 19, welcoming local students to experience French cinema on the big screen. Carefully curated to complement classroom learning while inspiring a love of film, these screenings form part of the IFI’s nationwide educational outreach programme, bringing high-quality Irish and international cinema to young audiences in Mayo.
Schools and teachers are encouraged to contact the Linenhall Box Office directly for bookings.
MUSIC AND MORE
Kyle Riley returns this spring with his wildly popular family concert, Little Folk on the Road, on March 21, perfectly suited for 2 - 7 year olds and their grown-ups, packed with award-winning children’s music, catchy tunes and joyful sing-alongs.
Audiences can also look ahead to a very special classical performance later in the month as acclaimed Irish pianist and composer David Vesey presents Carolan Reimagined on March 26. In this innovative concert, Vesey breathes new life into the music of legendary Irish harper Turlough O'Carolan, blending classical and traditional Irish influences into a fresh and evocative interpretation of these treasured compositions.
This promises to be a highlight in the Linenhall’s March programme.
ART
In the Linenhall’s visual art gallery, The Vanquished Writing History, a new exhibition by Paul MacCormaic, continues until April 11.
Among the collection 13 large-scale portraits are portraits of Catherine Corless, on loan from the National Gallery of Ireland, and a posthumous portrait of Sister Stan which is new to the collection. The collection features individuals who have told their stories in the face of adversity, making a positive contribution to Irish society.
The Linenhall remains a hub of creativity where art, music, theatre, film and community intersect. For full programme details, booking information and all upcoming events, visit thelinenhall.com or contact the Linenhall box office on (094) 9023733.
