It is a time of perfect balance, when the direct rays of the sun hit the equator, making day and night equal in length. While Imbolc represents the first stirrings of spring, Ostara celebrates its full arrival. It is a time of new beginnings, the awakening of the earth and the warmth of spring.

After over three years and 27 concerts, From Europe with Love is coming to a close. Galway Music Residency’s ambitious monthly lunchtime series exploring string quartet repertoire from all 27 EU member countries will see its final performance on Tuesday 5th April at 1:10pm in St Nicholas’ Collegiate Church.
From Europe with Love has welcomed upward of 3200 attendances to the 20 live, in-person, concerts across the series. A further seven concerts migrated online during the pandemic and they enjoyed over 6000 online views. The ambitious series engaged ConTempo Quartet in performing works by 58 European composers, 48 men, and 10 women, with 12 living composers in the mix. Two world premieres, Forever begin… (Fanfare for a New Year) by Galway composer Jane O’Leary, and Epiclisi by Cypriot composer Giorgos Papageorgiou, were among the programme highlights.
The final performance on Tuesday 5th April at 1:10pm will celebrate the music of Finland. ConTempo Quartet will perform Jean Sibelius’ Voces intimae, the composer’s only major work for string quartet from his mature period. About the work, Sibelius said: “It turned out as something wonderful. The kind of thing that brings a smile to your lips at the hour of death. I will say no more.” What better way to bring this series to a close.
The concert will be introduced by Ulla Hokkanen, Director of Galway Community Circus.

On Friday 25 June at 1pm, travel at the speed of sound to beautiful Greece as part of Galway Music Residency’s From Europe with Love. This ambitious 3-year project presents monthly lunchtime concerts exploring string quartet repertoire from all 27 EU member countries. The series, performed by ConTempo Quartet, draws to a close in December 2021. Friday’s celebration of Greek music will be available for FREE on Facebook and YouTube and can be watched back following the performance.
This lively concert, number 23 of 27 in the series, will feature works by well-known Greek composers Mikis Theodorakis and Nikos Skalkotta. Much of the programme consists of Greek dances or music inspired by the Greek dance tradition, none more famous that the title track from Zorba the Greek, the 1964 film based on the novel of the same name. Audiences will find it hard to resist dancing themselves as alluring melodies and rhythms unfold in this musical taste of Greece.
The event will be introduced by Dr. Natasha Remoundou, Lecturer in English Literature and Critical Theory at NUI Galway, who will give a personal reflection on the repertoire. Though a live audience is not possible, the lunchtime concert will be broadcast online (Facebook and YouTube) from the Mick Lally Theatre.
