ConTempo Quartet at The Source Arts Centre Thurles
The ABBA of the classical music scene are ready to perform at The Source Arts Centre in November. ConTempo Quartet is one of the most celebrated young quartets performing today. Currently RTE’s quartet in residence, The ConTempo Quartet is also the resident quartet on the West Coast of Ireland in the Galway Music Residency. Praised as a “fabulous foursome” and noted for performances which are “exceptional” and “full of imaginative daring” ConTempo Quartet has forged a unique place in Irish musical life.
They have played in venues world-wide including the Wigmore Hall, St Martin- in-the-Fields, Berliner Philharmonie, Carnegie Hall and the Vatican, collaborating with artists of the highest calibre. At the heart of every performance is the desire to communicate both the love of, and delight in the music, and the Quartet has gained many new fans with its fresh and enthusiastic approach to a wide variety of repertoire.
