Experienced chamber music players who have a group together have the opportunity to perform at the Kirribilli Neighbourhood Centre (KNC). The aim is to hold a concert at 5 pm on the first Sunday of each month between March and December. They are variously referred to as the Kirribilli Concerts or the Sunset Concerts. KNC volunteers put on a splendid supper, which amply covers the $10/$5 entry that they charge.
