This series of concerts features the Galway ConTempo Quartet with emerging and established composers from Ireland, exploring new music, how it comes to be and how to listen to it. Presented in an intimate setting, these events break down the barriers too often associated with new music, and offers opportunities to understand and appreciate today’s music.

ConTempo Quartet perform the WORLD PREMIERE of a new work for String Quartet by Irish composer Ed Bennett. This work was co-commissioned by GMR and the Galway City Council as part of a three-year commissioning initiative.

Tickets €15/ €10 from eventbrite.ie
