The year generally consists of 12 rehearsals of 2.5 hours duration and always take place on Sundays in the RIAM.
All of the pieces to work on are sent well in advance of the starting date. All work will be in preparation for a concert in April/May.
Since their debut performance in 2011 the group have gone form strength to strength and have performed at venues such as the Kevin Barry room, the John Field room at the National Concert Hall, Freemasons Hall and the National Gallery of Ireland.
They have collaborated with such international artists as Xuefei Yang, Roland Dyens and at the Guitar Festival of Ireland and the Great Music in Irish Houses Festival.
