What we’re about
Do you like going to classical, folk or jazz concerts, and you’d like to go with other people who do too? Or you’re just not sure which concerts are going on?
Dublin Music Lovers is making it easy to enjoy music in Dublin regularly.
Please join our WhatsApp group to keep in touch and receive reminders about all our events.
As you may know, Meetup charges organisers for the use of this platform (I've paid €80 for a 6 month subscription). If you've enjoyed the events so far, please consider making a voluntary contribution to support those costs.
Our commitments to you:
💶 Affordability: most concerts will cost no more than €20, and at least 1 in 4 of our events will be free of charge
😊 Friendly interaction: we’ll have a meeting point at the venue where you can meet other attendees before the event, and there will be an optional visit to the pub afterwards.
🎻🎺 Variety: we don’t have a fixed genre of music, but generally, concerts will be classical, folk or jazz music.
What you’ll need to do:
🎟 Book your own ticket: each event will have clear instructions on how to get a ticket, and the costs. Marking yourself as Going on Meetup will not book an event ticket!
⏱ Arrive on time: many concerts won’t admit late arrivals, so you need to be there before the start. This also means we can meet and sit together in the venue.
🥳 Come prepared to have fun!
We welcome your ideas - many great concerts happen in Dublin without people knowing about them, so please share things that you hear about!

Classical music concert with RIAM Philharmonia
Royal Irish Academy Of Music, 36 Westland Row, Dublin, IE💬 Join Dublin Music Lovers on WhatsApp to stay in touch before and on the day of the event! (Please mark yourself as attending on Meetup first.)
---The UCD Symphony Orchestra presents a varied programme of classical music, featuring guest performers from Sweden.
The concert features Brahms’s Academic Festival Overture, a lively, good-humored piece that weaves student drinking songs into a grand orchestral celebration; Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, one of his final masterpieces, graceful and expressive in showcasing the clarinet’s warmth and agility; Smetana’s Vltava, a musical portrait of the great Czech river flowing from bubbling springs through forests, villages, and a majestic sweep toward Prague; and Alfvén’s Swedish Rhapsody No. 1, or “Midsummer Vigil,” a bright, folk-inspired work that captures the festive spirit of a Swedish summer night.
🕰 Meeting time: 7:15pm inside the RIAM building, near the large steps beside the Whyte Recital Hall. I will be wearing a colourful scarf. Concert starts at 7:30pm.
🎟 IMPORTANT - TICKETS! - Tickets cost €13.50. Book your ticket from the RIAM.
