High school senior Katya Roberts, a CIM student since kindergarten—tin whistle, Irish flute, uilleann pipes—said she is honored to receive the annual James M. Curley Memorial Scholarship that funds one full year of weekly music lessons for one student on one instrument.
Tim 'Fitz' Fitzgerald left us on March 3, 2010. Fitz was an integral part of the Twin Cities Irish community as a musician, artist, craftsman, singer, photographer, and promoter - a modern day Renaissance man who was always willing to lend a helping hand. Fitz was involved with Irish Fair Minnesota, the Emerald Society, and the Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band. Over the years, Fitz also brought some great music and theater to Kieran’s Irish Pub.

It’s been six years since the Coleman family was featured in the Clare Echo at the All Ireland Fleadh Cheoil in Ennis, when the Center for Irish Music represented Minnesota for the first time en masse with two ceili bands, and one grúpa cheoil at an international-level level. This year, CIM parent and volunteer Kelly Scanlan, chatted up the owner of Just Books bookstore on Pierce Street, making the headlines once again, this time in the Westmeath Examiner. The story of Americans coming to a small Irish town to experience traditional Irish music at the fleadh is both compelling, and entertaining.
