The 2020 12th Annual Minnesota Irish Music Weekend will pair children, teen and adult students with virtuosic Irish tradition bearers for an immersive cultural experience of learning music in a traditional way (aurally) that is affordable, accessible, and eye-opening. Through high quality educational and performance opportunities led by master artists right here in St. Paul, the event will elevate the skill, cultural fluency, and number of players of traditional Irish music in the Twin Cities and North America. 20 children, 25 teens and more than one hundred adults will attend 35 music workshops and lectures throughout the weekend, and the Friday night Great Session Experience and Saturday night Master Artist Concert will attract over 500 attendees from the Twin Cities and Minnesota. Surveys will be given to every workshop attendee. Audiences and workshop participants will be counted. Master artists will be interviewed during the weekend. Demographic information collected from registered participants will be analyzed and used to improve future MIM weekends.
203 participants ages eight to 85 learned new skills and knowledge in Irish traditional music. Audience surveys showed that 97% of participants learned something new about Irish music throughout the weekend, including information about seminal tradition bearers, new music, and stylistic and technical tips on fiddle, flute, whistle, singing, accordion, concertina, uilleann pipes, harp, and bodhran.
