While science and music rarely share the same stage, Galway will be the venue for a unique experiment in collaboration when three marine scientists explore the synergies between science and art in a celebration of Galway's position as a 'gateway to the deep Atlantic'.

'Songs of the Deep', a unique blend of music and marine science will take place on Thursday, 31 January at 7.30pm in St Nicholas' Collegiate Church, sponsored by the Marine Institute. Entry is free and open to all members of the public.

The night will feature presentations by Professor John Delaney of the University of Washington, combining poetry, scientific information and stunning underwater photography. Music will include traditional choral recitals by Cois Cladaigh, whose conductor Brendan O'Connor is also a marine scientist.

This unique event, complemented by the wonderful atmosphere and acoustics that St Nicholas' provides, will be well worth attending and those interested are advised to come early to be sure of a seat.
