How it works: Rehearse in Dublin, then play for communities.

  1. Tell us your instrument

    Write with what you play. Players of any background are welcome.

  2. Rehearse together

    We rehearse in Dublin, directed by our founder, Andrew Seohyeon Kim.

  3. Play for a community

    Concerts go to religious communities, parishes and care settings, often around a feast day.

What to expect: Before you join.

What does the ensemble play?
Pieces such as Mozart’s ‘Ave verum corpus’, ‘Down by the Sally Gardens’ and ‘Arirang’.
Can I join if I stopped playing years ago?
Yes. One member joined after a talk reminded them of the viola they played at school.
How many concerts has it given?
Four formal concerts, from Dalgan Park in March 2024 to Christmas 2025.
