Join us for an informal concert of moving minimalist music with pianist Ruth McGinley, as she performs a programme centred around the works of Philip Glass along with reworks of contemporary popular music. Ruth’s career has been wide-ranging and daring, collaborating with some of the most acclaimed musicians working today, and straying from the typical classical-pianist journey. Following the release of her two solo albums, she was awarded the Arts Council of Northern Ireland’s Major Individual Artist Award in 2024.
