James Galway's appearance with CYO was a highlight

Legendary Sir James Galway

Harking back to where it all began......

The idea that the Cork Youth Orchestra would contemplate performing with a mega star...... Sir James Galway.....

It all began when Martin Barrett (Cork City Capital of Culture 2005) put the idea to our muscial director, Tomas.... Martin made the phone call to Sir James in Switzerland.... explained who CYO were... handed the phone to Tomas.... and we were off....

Next stop, CYO with Sir James Galway and Lady Jeannie Galway...
