The series will present high quality chamber music in an intimate setting, along with opportunities to eat, drink and meet the artists and composers.
The second instalment of the series will feature the world premiere of Amanda Feery’s new piece for string quartet and uilleann pipes – Something Like Light But Not.

The performances will be punctuated by discussion between composers and artists, with audience participation welcome.
