The ConTempo Quartet from Bucharest has been Galway's Ensemble in Residence since 2003. As world-class musicians in the community, these four young artists have endeared themselves to adults and children alike with their skill and love for all music. They have won numerous international prizes, have performed with celebrated musicians such as John O'Conor, Hugh Tinney, Emma Johnson, the Amadeus and Vanbrugh quartets as well as the Galway Youth Orchestra an d The Galway Baroque Singers. One of their ongoing collaborations is with bosca player Extraordinaire Máirtín O' Connor combining with Garry O'Briain and Cathal Hayden. To witness them sharing tunes, classical and modern, avant garde and traditional, is a revelation. This 'Documenting the Arts' film shows that the classical/traditiona divide can dissolve in the hands of great musicians.
