The Creative Zone was filled once again for the third instalment of FUAIM in Boole Library! 🎶

This week we welcomed Hifilutin, a Cork-based flute quartet whose performance brought together original music and arrangements of classical and popular favourites.

Three weeks, three wonderful performances and three full houses. We’ve loved hosting these events and welcoming so many of you into the Library.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us. We hope you enjoyed the music and look forward to seeing you again soon.
