How it works: Before, during and after the concert.

  1. Prepare beforehand

    We choose a concert. Then we go through the music and what happens in the hall.

  2. Go as a group

    The group goes together, with a guide during the concert.

  3. Talk it over

    Afterwards we talk about what we heard, and there is no wrong answer.

What to expect: Before your first outing.

Which concerts have you suggested?
The National Symphony Orchestra, the TU Dublin Philharmonic and a National Concert Hall series, among others.
How big is a group?
In December 2025, six people went together to the National Concert Hall.
I am new to Ireland. Is this for me?
Yes. People new to Ireland are welcome, and we work in English and Korean.

In the room: The hall, from the seats.
