Some Light in Darkness - Monday Morning Music with Tim Thurston 22 Nov 2021

22 November 2021

We are thrilled to bring you a series of four of Tim’s very special Monday Morning Music sessions. He will introduce music which he has enjoyed during Lockdown – and some Christmas music too. These sessions took place in the Studio Theatre, dlr LexIcon. If you would like further suggestions by Tim, see last year’s Darkness to Light booklet featuring Tim’s recommendations: https://libraries.dlrcoco.ie/events-and-news/library-news/darkness-light-recommended-listening-tim-thurston
