THE CONTEMPO Quartet will be joined by Finnish accordionist Timo Kinnunen, for a concert which promises to bring audiences on a musical journey from South America to Latvia.
ConTempo and Timo Kinnunen will play St Nicholas’ Collegiate Church tomorrow at 8pm. Kinnunen will perform Georg Muffat’s ‘Passacaglia’ and Olivier Messiaen’s ‘Les Anges’ while ConTempo will perform Haydn’s ‘String Quartet Op 76 No 1’.
‘Why Me?’, written specially for the five musicians by Latvian composer Anna Veismane will also be performed and the programme will end with the South American sounds of Astor Piazzolla’s ‘Five Tango Sensations’.
Timo Kinnunen is the first guest resident of The Galway Music Residency and this will see him present a short performance and workshop at Lisheenkyle National School, Athenry.
Tickets are available at the door for €10/7. Those aged under 16 will be admitted free.
