May 8th – 11th, 2025

Welcome to the SOUND Festival! We’re thrilled to kick off an unforgettable weekend of immersive music, film, and sound. From the Oscar-winning animation Flow to the opening concert with the Donegal Chamber Orchestra, there’s something for everyone. Experience Jóhann Jóhannsson’s haunting Drone Mass, enjoy the wild Hundreds of Beavers, and dive into cinema history with Battleship Potemkin. Also: Dance Yourself Clean III and Nature Boy: A Journey of Birdsong, with ornithologist Sean Ronayne live in person. Plus, witness the iconic Donegal ’92 football victory reimagined with a live score. Let the magic begin!  

Curated by Derek O’Connor (RTÉ), Stephen McCauley (BBC) and Jeremy Howard (RCC), Sound! Is presented by Regional Cultural Centre, Letterkenny in association with An Grianán Theatre.
