THE GALWAY MUSIC RESIDENCY

The people of Galway City and County have enjoyed the work of The Galway Ensemble in Residence since ConTempo String Quartet took up the post in 2003. Since then these world class musicians have played a key role in the musical life and musical education of the county.

The rebranding of the residency is the next stage in the life of this wonderful programme. By its very nature it has always been owned by the people – now The Galway Music Residency aims to be an even more inclusive programme which will expose the people of Galway to more genres of music, guest artists, collectives of musicians and performance and education opportunities for all.

We are hugely excited to be at this stage in our development. We look forward to continuing to bring inspirational musicians to Galway to deliver world class performance, education and community programmes to the people for many years to come.
