Master classes are offered for intermediate and experienced musicians and provide a unique opportunity to learn from and interact with some of Irelands best traditional players. The Master Class Series is modelled after the Willie Clancy Summer School held in Clare each July. We offer participants three mornings of tuition (Wed 15^th- Fri 17^th Sept: 10am-1pm), followed by forums and sessions in the evenings. Classes culminate in recitals given by the Irish tutors on the Friday evening, marking the start of the festival's weekend events.
