Irish/Celtic Week
(We
will provide more details as they become available.)

Week 3 |
| July
25-30, 2010 |
| Tuition: $440 |
Irish/Celtic Week celebrates
its 29th year with the very best in Celtic crafts, folklore, music
and dance. Augusta’s Irish/Celtic Week has had an enormous impact on
the quality of Irish and Cape Breton traditional  music
and dance in the U.S. The classes are intense and music sessions in the
wee hours are legendary. Irish/Celtic Week Coordinator Joanie
Madden has chosen extraordinary master musicians and  teachers
for the week. See the list below.
Students
choose one subject and one instructor for
intensive classes that meet both morning
and afternoon. All classes (except dance
and vocals) are intended for those who
can already play their instrument to some
extent and are ready to start learning
Irish or Celtic style, technique, and repertoire.
In
the evenings participants may join lively sessions or swap
ballads. Less experienced students are offered encouragement
in “slow sessions” led by the staff. Optional evening mini-courses
will complement the week's theme. Dances will follow
both the Tuesday and Thursday Irish/Celtic public concerts
featuring the wonderful Irish Week instructors and more.
To
register, specify “Irish/Celtic Week,” your
instructor and class.
