The story

Boyne Music Festival in Drogheda/Slane

Boyne Music Festival, founded in 2013 by twin sisters Aisling and Julie-Anne Manning with cousin Deirdre Brenner, runs each July across historic venues including Townley Hall, Slane Castle and a Drogheda church, staging chamber and classical concerts built around a different curatorial theme each year.

Boyne Music Festival was founded in 2013 by twin sisters Aisling and Julie-Anne Manning alongside their cousin Deirdre Brenner, and it runs each July across venues in County Louth and County Meath, including Townley Hall, Slane Castle and St Peter's Church of Ireland in Drogheda, built around chamber and classical music performed by leading Irish and international musicians rather than a broad multi-genre lineup.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Its use of historic architectural venues, a country house, a castle estate and a parish church, rather than purpose-built concert halls, combined with a distinct curatorial theme each year connecting music to film and visual art, gives it an unusually cohesive, place-specific identity among Irish classical music festivals

02

The mystery stays covered

Each year's programme is organised around a specific curatorial theme connecting music to complementary film screenings or visual art exhibitions, giving the festival a thematic coherence uncommon among smaller regional classical music events
