We are thrilled to reintroduce ourselves as MusicConnects!

Hi Everyone!

We wanted to let you know, we've been working on something so exciting behind the scenes. We cannot wait to share it with you! We'll be announcing it really soon, so watch this space 👀

#galway #galwayireland #galwaymusic #watchthisspace

We asked Marc Mac Lochlainn, Artistic Director of @branarteatar.bsky.social and Maeve Bryan,
Executive Director of Galway Music Residency, to
chat about the experience of both groups collaborating
together for Story of a Day – Scéal Lae at Galway International Arts Festivals this month.💛

Tá ríméad orainn Story of a Day-Scéal Lae a chur ar stáitse i bhFéile Ealaíon Idirnáisiúnta na Gaillimhe os comhair luchtanna féachana éagsúla i gcomhpháirt le Branar. Is breá linn an seó seo a chur ar fáil i nGaeilge ach go háirithe agus páistí a fheiceáil ag baint sult as ina dteanga dhúchais féin

"I’m awake I think… But what was it that woke me?"
So begins a music filled story of one child’s day turning ordinary into extraordinary with a live score by award winning composer Tom Lane, performed by ConTempo String Quartet and pianist Daniel Browell 🎶

We are extremely excited to share that we are continuing our Music in the Afternoon programme this year with visits to residential homes in Galway city and throughout Galway county!

This video is from our visits last year, which were funded by Galway County Council.

As we get ready to share an exciting announcement with you, take a look back at some of our 2024 Music in the Afternoon programme. We had a great time getting to know - & bringing music to - residents throughout Galway county!

This project was funded by Galway County Council & Creative Ireland 🎶

A big thank you to everyone who joined us at Lunchtime with ConTempo yesterday afternoon! We had a fabulous time sharing out programme celebrating 'Light' on such a wonderfully sunny day 🌞

Thanks to all who came to Music Unveiled yesterday!
Dr Aidan Thomson, Head of Music at University of Galway deconstructed Haydn’s ‘Sunrise’ quartet & Irish composer Sarah O’Halloran spoke about her work ‘wax/wane’.

We had a great time learning, listening and sipping on tea!

Looking back at our Lunchtime with ConTempo concert last week 🎻
