Rathfarnham Concert Band was founded in 1980 and has become an integral part of the community in Rathfarnham, celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2020. Children as young as 8 begin their musical journey with recorder classes in St Mary’s Boys School on the Grange Road. From there, they join the Tyro Band where their musical journey continues.
In total, there are five bands: a Tyro Band for beginners, a Junior Band, Intermediate Band, Senior Band, and more recently a Jazz Band. Members have band rehearsals, lessons and theory every Monday night and Band rehearsal every Sunday morning.
