MusicConnects’ Lunchtime with ConTempo series continues this spring with a varied programme of music by Czech composer Antonín Dvořák and Swedish composer Karin Rehnqvist.
The performance takes place at 1:10pm on Tuesday 2 May in the stunning surroundings of St Nicholas’ Collegiate Church, Lombard Street, Galway.
ConTempo perform Dvořák’s String Quartet No 10 (nicknamed The Slavonic Quartet) and Rehnqvist’s The Riddle (Gåtan) which was composed in 2017 for the “Kronos’ 50 for the future” project.
ConTempo Quartet is the resident ensemble of MusicConnects and was RTE’s Resident Quartet from 2014 until 2019. Praised as a “fabulous foursome” (Irish Independent) and noted for performances which are “exceptional” (The Strad) and “full of imaginative daring” (The Irish Times), ConTempo Quartet has forged a unique place in Irish musical life.
MusicConnects is proudly supported by the Arts Council of Ireland, University of Galway (Education Partner), and Galway City and County Councils.
