As Quartet-in-Residence in Galway the Contempo Quartet hosted the first music summer school there in July 2004, while in July 2005 the members of the Quartet launched their own festival Contempo Summer Concerts which involved artists such as Emma Johnson, Martin Lovett, Bruno Giuranna and Mairtin O’Connor.
