Lunchtime with ConTempo, Tuesday 14 March 2023

MusicConnectsA music residency programme rooted in the soul of Galway, our identity is inspired by connection, between people, between past and present, and between music and place.We bring music and musicians beyond the stage, into schools, nursing homes, community halls, and public spaces. We nurture young talent, support emerging artists, and collaborate across art forms to create experiences that are as meaningful as they are memorable.MusicConnects is music that moves Galway emotionally, socially, and culturally.Our StoryIn 2002, a group of people dedicated to creating listening opportunities in their community had an ambitious idea – to bring an internationally renowned classical music ensemble to Galway to enrich the lives of its citizens. With support from local institutions, the organisation MusicConnects was born (previously known as Galway Music Residency).
