Music in Kilkenny started out in 1990 as the Dame Alice Music Club, when it staged its first concert in Castle Blunden. It began organising concert series in 1996 before settling eventually into its present incarnation (Music in Kilkenny) organising two seasons of concerts a year, comprising world-class performers from the classical, traditional, world music and jazz genres.
