Presented by the Center for Irish Music, the Minnesota Irish Music Weekend is a unique festival that pairs world-class traditional Irish musicians and teachers with learners of all ages and abilities for a weekend of workshops, lectures, sessions, interviews with the artists about the stories behind the music, and a rare and virtuosic Saturday night concert featuring the visiting artists.
