From Europe with Love: Slovenia

From Europe with Love: Slovenia

Friday, 21 May 2021, 1.00pm

On Friday 21 May at 1pm, immerse yourself in the sound of Slovenia as part of Galway Music Residency’s From Europe with Love. This ambitious 3-year project presents monthly lunchtime concerts exploring string quartet repertoire from all 27 EU member countries. The series, performed by ConTempo Quartet, draws to a close in December 2021. Friday’s celebration of Slovenian music will be available for FREE on Facebook and YouTube and can be watched back following the performance.

The concert will feature works by 20th Century composers Marijan Lipovšek and Uroš Krek, and contemporary composer Nina Šenk. A celebration of sound – complex, thought-provoking, at times unnerving – this repertoire is some of the most technically difficult featured so far in the series. In the capable hands of ConTempo Quartet, the programme will be masterfully executed in a heart-stopping performance.

The event will be introduced by Galway-based composer Jane O’Leary and Galway Music Residency’s General Manager Maeve Bryan, who will discuss the concert’s programme, the history of Slovenian music and the process of finding the unique music featured in From Europe with Love. Though a live audience is not possible, the lunchtime concert will be broadcast online (Facebook and YouTube) from the beautiful Oughterard Courthouse.
