Linenhall hosts night of classical strings


Top Irish guitarist John Feeley will perform with the ConTempo String Quartet at the Linenhall Arts Centre in Castlebar on Thursday, September 20, at 8pm as part of Galway Music Residency’s tenth anniversary celebration tour.
The Galway Music Residency is the oldest residency programme in Ireland and the only one of its kind in existence in this country. It has served the people of Galway and the west with performances, master-classes, workshops and more.
ConTempo String Quartet from Romania has been at the heart of the residency from the early days, moving to Galway ten years ago as four young 20-somethings. The Galway Music Residency has invited some musicians who have worked with ConTempo over the past 10 years to return for this celebratory tour.
For this very special concert, ConTempo share the stage with John Feeley, acclaimed by ‘The Washington Post’ as ‘Ireland’s leading classical guitarist’. The programme includes a selection of quartets, quintets and guitar solos, including, Luigi Boccherini’s Guitar Quintet in E minor, G. 451.
