Sym-phonic Waves

ConTempo Quartet offers regular mentoring to the new youth orchestra for the West of Ireland, Sym-phonic Waves.

This exciting new orchestral project, established in 2017 with just a string section, was conceived under the Galway 2020 Capital of Culture bid and aims to grow to a full youth symphony orchestra by 2020. GMR and ConTempo look forward to aiding this growth through a host of mentoring opportunities in the coming years.

ConTempo's Perspective

“A youth orchestra for the Western region is a project we have been waiting for for many years. We are so proud and happy that it is finally happening ... it was wonderful to see participants coming from all over the West of Ireland to take part. We’re delighted to be working with Symphonic Waves.” - Ingrid Nicola of ConTempo Quartet
