The third of three lunchtime concerts by students from the Royal Irish Academy of Music [RIAM] and Cork School of Music [CSM]

These concerts are devoted to groups from RIAM’s & CSMs third level programmes (BMus, MMus, DipMus, Recital Artist Diploma) consisting of students training at the colleges for careers as professional musicians. A special selection process is linked to RIAMs / CSMs chamber music exams, from which, outstanding groups are selected for the Music for Wexford recital opportunities, offering a professional platform for pre-professional chamber musicians.
