The OrchestraFounded in 2013, The Offbeat Ensemble is a late-starter string orchestra which rehearses weekly in Phibsboro. Run by Ciara Cavanagh and Nathan Sherman, both of whom are professional performers and music teachers, the groups’s aim is to give everyone the chance to learn music in a fun, friendly and supportive environment. The orchestra covers violin, viola, cello, double bass, and ensemble playing and is open to adults. |

In June 2013, The Offbeat Ensemble performed their first concert in King’s Inn, where members created a buzz and energy onstage which was electrifying.
Players in the Offbeat Ensemble join to have fun, make music and meet new people - It’s never too late to begin to learn a musical instrument.
Those with a small amount of playing experience are welcome to join immediately. Complete beginners should contact the orchestra for details about the next beginner’s class.
We aim to organize 2-3 informal concerts per year.
Rehearsals take place weekly in St. Peter’s Primary School, Phibsboro on Wednesday evenings from 7pm – 9pm. See our Rehearsals page for more information. Thanks to Ray Ryan and Joan Quinn in St. Peter's school for their support.
