From Europe with Love: Austria

From Europe with Love: Austria

Tuesday, 1 September 2020, 1.10pm

From Europe with Love is back! Following 6 months of uncertainty and many concert cancellations, Galway Music Residency is delighted to return to Live events, albeit under very different circumstances. From Europe with Love, the organisation’s ambitious monthly lunchtime series exploring string quartet repertoire from all 27 EU member countries, resumes on Tuesday 1st September at 1:10pm in its temporary new home, The Mick Lally Theatre.

To kick things off, on 1st September, the quartet will treat audiences to music from two great Austrian composers. Mozart’s String Quartet No. 21 in D major, nicknamed The Violet, will open the concert. This will be followed by Schubert’s Quartettsatz in C minor, which was composed as a first movement of a string quartet the composer was never to finish.

From Europe with Love will take place in line with government regulations and GMR is working closely with the venue’s team to ensure all safety controls are in place. Upon booking, patrons will receive clear guidelines to follow when attending the venue, so they can enjoy these performances in safety and comfort. Due to Covid-19 restrictions, only a reduced audience can be facilitated and booking is essential. However, continuing its commitment to making high-quality music accessible to as many people as possible, Galway Music Residency will be live streaming these events for FREE on its Facebook page for all to enjoy from the comfort of their own homes.

Tickets for live attendance will be sold in pairs and cost €6 each. They are available from druid.ie/the-mick-lally-theatre. The Port of Galway is the generous title sponsor of From Europe with Love. The Galway Music Residency is proudly supported by NUI Galway (Education Partner), the Arts Council, GMIT, and Galway City and County Councils.
