The Center for Irish Music Advanced Youth Ensemble (AYE) is a year-round program for experienced youth musicians who love to play with others, arrange music and perform. Musicians in this ensemble have a large repertoire of tunes, learn quickly by ear and have the skills to play Irish traditional music with great rhythm and style. Throughout the year, musicians from this group will perform at local festivals and events while developing unique and beautiful repertoire (and working on it in a group of mixed instruments), including the Irish Fair of Minnesota.
Save the date for the Center for Irish Music Ensemble Holiday Concert, featuring the AYE at the Celtic Junction Arts Center on Saturday, November 19th at 3:00pm.
In 2022-23, Advanced Youth Ensemble musicians will be working with Norah Rendell, with artistic support from Brian Miller.
Additional Information:
Reminder: Weekly private lessons on principal ensemble instrument from a CIM instructor are required. Private lessons with CIM instructors support learning the ensemble repertoire and reinforce technical & stylistic aspects of each student's instrument. Financial aid is available.
