(I guess we've hit the depth limit so I'll reply to my own comment.)
It's a loose collective called Classical Revolution, plays 1st & 3rd & 5th Mondays, been going since 2006. I'm only there occasionally these days; I might show up August 19. Starts at "8:30", often actually later, goes till 11:30.
The evening typically starts with a group that actually rehearsed and then devolves rapidly into the closest thing you can have to a jam session when you're playing notes off a page. Whoever shows up decides what to play on the fly from our collective piles of sheet music. It's a risky format—some nights are great, some less so. :)
