Upcoming Concerts 2024
We are currently working on reinterpreting our newest material (from 2021 onward), into live-performance-possible material. Minorarc has found two guest artists to join us in this new journey, a violinist and bass guitarist. We look forward to sharing more information about them, and any potential future performances shortly.
