Student surveys showed that 80% of students at the Minnesota Irish Music Weekend gained a deeper understanding of Irish traditional music, and developed new skills by attending workshops taught by master artists. Student surveys show that 75% of youth and teen musicians deepened friendships and gained new skills through spending an immersive Irish music weekend with like-minded peers, including a self-led "Teen-Trad Showcase". Participant surveys will be given to every workshop and lecture attendee including youth, teens and adults. Concert-goers and attendees will be interviewed at the intermission of the concert to record responses to their experience of live Irish traditional music performances.
The 13th annual Minnesota Irish Music Weekend connected 136 workshop participants, 140 in-person concert attendees, 75 in-person session attendees, and 1,470 online concert and session viewers with 23 virtuosic traditional Irish musicians from Ireland and the United States. 99% of workshop participants said that workshops met or exceeded expectations, and 95% would recommend MIM to a friend.
