Ceolfhoireann nua don aos óg in iarthar na hÉireann is ea Symphonic Waves, ar tionscadal é a fhéachann le ceoltóirí óga a spreagadh chun a lánacmhainneacht ceoil a bhaint amach.
Tabharfaidh Symphonic Waves deis do cheoltóirí óga an réigiúin a mbuanna ceoil a chur ar taispeáint agus soláthróidh sé oideachas ceoil atá bunaithe ar an stáitse. Tá sé mar aidhm ag Symphonic Waves spreagadh a thabhairt do cheoltóirí óga a bhféiniúlachtaí ceoil féin a fhorbairt trí chaidreamh le ceoltóirí gairmiúla agus comhoibriú le comhghleacaithe ó cheolfhoirne na n-óg eile in Éirinn agus thar lear.
Tá Symphonic Waves á maoiniú ag Gaillimh 2020, faigheann sé tacaíocht ó Chomhairle Chontae na Gaillimhe agus tá sé á bhainistiú ag Music Generation Chontae na Gaillimhe.
