Jane Brazil & Tiffany Qiu

Arts in Action in collaboration with Music for Galway and SAP present a series of International Lunchtime Concerts. 

These two young performers have impressed pianists like Finghin Collins, Cédric  Tiberghien and Joanna MacGregor. We are delighted to give them their Galway debut.

Jane Brazil, born in 2000, studies piano with Thérèse Fahy at the RIAM where she has been on scholarship since the age of six. This year Jane was selected for the Dublin International Piano Competition Finlay Programme and the RIAM Young Scholars Programme. She has participated in masterclasses with Leif Ove Andsnes, Joanna MacGregor and Finghin Collins.

16-year old Tiffany Qiu is currently studying with Professor Thérèse Fahy in the RIAM where she has been winning continuous scholarships ever since. She gave her first solo recital for the Dublin Philharmonic Society at the age of thirteen. She has also performed concerti under the baton of Finghin Collins, James Cavanagh and Uri Segal. Tiffany has won many prizes including First in the Feis Ceoil Patricia Read Cup 2017 and Second in the César Franck International Piano Competition 2016.

Arts in Action - Sacrificial Wind

Sacrificial Wind revival in memory of Mary McPartlan. Written by Lorna Shaughnessy. Directed by Max Hafler.

Lorna Shaughnessy's poetic examination of the characters around the story of the sacrifice of Iphigenia by her father Agamemnon asks big questions about war, patriarchy, and society. Mary McPartlan commissioned Shaughnessy and Hafler to produce it as a world premiere in 2017 for Arts in Action, and Sacrificial Wind held the distinction of being the first piece of theatre performed in the new O’Donoghue Theatre. Sacrificial Wind has also been performed in the Seamus Heaney Centre in Queen’s University, Belfast. The piece was worked using the Michael Chekhov Technique, a process of acting McPartlan herself was dedicated to and which she also pioneered at NUI Galway.
