WHAT DO you get when you cross the ConTempo Quartet with jazz musicians? JazzTempo! To close the summer, Galway Music Residency is hosting a special live streamed concert tomorrow (Friday August 28 ) at 1pm.
The concert is the culmination of an intensive, yet socially distanced, residency shared by ConTempo and Galway jazz musiciansMatthew Berrill (clarinet/sax ), Aengus Hackett (guitar - pictured below ), Roisín Mulliez (voice ) and Barry Donohue (double bass ).
.
The residency saw the musicians challenge each other and learn from each other's experiences in their respective genres. Throughout they performed new compositions by Matthew Berrill, as well as a number of Jazz standards, while also employing classical forms. These will form the basis of tomorrow's concert.
The concert will run for 40-minutes and be broadcast live from Oughterard Courthouse. It can be watched for free via Facebook (@thegalwaymusicresidency ), but donations are welcome.
