What a week. We are feeling incredibly grateful to everyone who helped us bring our first solo recital to life. After a rewarding day of outreach with schools around Monkstown, we were privileged to present our own afternoon concert in Monkstown church, featuring a mix of modern and traditional quintet music, and arrangements and compositions of our own members.
Huge thanks to the Music in Monkstown Festival for giving us a platform and to everyone who helped us perform.
Plenty of news and concert videos coming soon as well as an exciting partnership!
A special thank you to & for providing this fabulous media that you can see here, and in posts to come!
