Dear CIM supporters and students, 
Next weekend from June 14-16, the CIM presents the annual Minnesota Irish Music Weekend. Every year we invite world-class traditional musicians from Ireland to teach, perform, and share their music with us right here in Saint Paul! Make sure you register in advance for workshops and lectures and get your concert tickets now before the tickets are sold out! Visit our website for more information or contact Erika directly to reserve and pay for concert tickets.
Registration for summer camps and group classes is still open, however we will be cancelling classes with low enrollment soon. If you are planning on registering for a summer class, please do so today! See below for more details.
May was a particularly active month of performances and travels including the Midwest Regional Fleadh in St. Louis (we sent 15 young students!), an amazing concert by the Youth Ensembles on May 31st, (see photos from these events, below) and our annual spring recitals. It brings me great joy to see musicians of all ages developing their music and having so much fun in the process.
Finally, for those busy families planning their fall schedules before summer begins, we will have our fall youth ensembles open for registration by June 14th. Keep an eye on the website for the full fall course listings in July.
I look forward to seeing you all at MIM!
-Norah Rendell,
CIM Executive Director
