Minnesota Irish Music Weekend - June 13-16, 2013

The Minnesota Irish Music Weekend is a unique festival presented by the Center for Irish Music that pairs world-class traditional Irish musicians and teachers with youth and adult learners for a weekend of workshops, lectures and a rare and virtuosic concert on Saturday night.

    This three-day event is unique in its mission to provide traditional Irish music programming for all ages and abilities, from a beginner program for children ages 7-11 taught by Center for Irish Music instructors, to a full three-day youth music course (all Irish instruments) and a wide variety of 80-minute workshops for adults on uillean pipes, flute, piano, Irish accompaniment, Irish harp, fiddle and more, taught by the visiting artists. MIM is held in June. 

Eigse CIM, A Gaela Event - Held Feb 23, 2013

Éigse [eg-shuh] is an Irish word used for festivals celebrating traditional Irish arts and culture. It is in this spirit that we gather for an evening to raise funds for The Center for Irish Music and the mission of handing down traditional Irish music. Event includes a silent auction, sit down dinner, and concert by the esteemed Center for Irish Music instructors. Our annual fundraiser always is held in February.
