SERIOUS ABOUT THE ART, NOT ABOUT THE RULES.
A bold new collective from Galway. Choirs, chamber ensembles, operas, classical music, operettas, poetry, salons, and workshops, all driven by the belief that great art belongs to everyone.

What started with an operetta has grown into something much bigger.
Founded by Rob Partridge & Oran Tobin
Unhinged is the umbrella under which everything lives: our choirs, chamber ensembles, operas, classical concerts, operettas, poetry events, and all our workshops. It's the container for a shared creative vision: that the arts should be thrilling, accessible, and unafraid.
We believe in tearing down the velvet ropes, not just at the opera house, but across every art form. Whether it's a choir in a community hall, a classical recital in an intimate salon, or a poetry workshop where anyone can find their voice, Unhinged is about making art that connects.
Based in Galway, reaching everywhere.
Eight creative pillars. One unhinged vision.
A community choir for everyone over 18. Championing Irish music and history through unique themed concerts, diverse repertoire, and a shared love of singing.
An LGBTQIA+ community choir in Galway. A warm, affirming space for queer singers and allies to find their voices and make music together. No experience needed.
A vocal consort of four voices, one to a part. Medieval and Renaissance polyphony, contemporary composition, Irish-language repertoire, and newly commissioned works. Intimate, expressive, and deeply collaborative.
Festivals and competitions showcasing Irish talent. From landmark productions and local showcases to national stages.
Opera and operetta for everyone. Productions that crackle with energy, and stories that speak to now.
Intimate evenings where art forms collide. Opera, poetry, live music, conversation, and the kind of unexpected moments that only happen when you bring creative people together.
Workshops and lectures in opera, voice, choral singing, performance, poetry, and composition. For beginners and experienced participants alike.
Something happening soon. Watch this space.
Big things are in the works. Concerts, salons, workshops and more are in the planning stage across the Unhinged family. Head over to the events page for the latest details, and watch this space.
The creative partnership behind Unhinged.
Rob writes the words: libretti, poetry, workshop content, and the creative vision that drives it all. He's the one who handed Oran an unfinished operetta and said, "Let's make this happen."
Oran brings the music to life: composing, arranging, conducting, and directing. He saw possibility in Rob's words and turned it into sound. Together they make Unhinged.
