The Informal Music Afternoon is an ideal way to spend a calm Sunday afternoon. The idea behind this event is to make classical music accessible for all, by means of an informal concert with a relaxed atmosphere in a cafe-style setting.  Musicians perform classical works in addition to a non-classical section - often folk, traditional or jazz - and refreshments are available from Ósta@TheModel. Informal Music Afternoons usually take place on the first Sunday of each month at 1pm.
