Join us for a very special concert in memory of Joe Quigley, the true founder of Newry Chamber Music, who sadly passed away on 26 July this year. Joe was the beloved father of NCM Artistic Director Joanne Quigley McParland and NCM Co-Founder David Quigley. Along with his wife, Kay, Joe was the driving force behind the musical journey that has brought year-round chamber music of international calibre to the Newry area. So much of what we enjoy today has its roots in Joe’s dedication, his belief in his children, and his love of music. This concert celebrates Joe through some of the music that meant so much to him throughout his life. It is a celebration of his life, his love of music, his family, and the remarkable legacy he leaves behind. Tickets available here 👉 ticketsource.com/newry-chamb…
