Dear CIM supporters and students,

MIM Session during Friday community dinner

Thank you for kicking your summer off with the CIM at this year's Minnesota Irish Music Weekend.  It was the most successful weekend event yet with over 120 workshop participants and a full house at Saturday night's master concert.  One of the highlights for our own instructors was spending an inspirational Friday morning with the visiting artists exchanging ideas about how to teach traditional music.  Geraldine, Eamonn, Eileen, Oisín and Meaití were all genuinely impressed with the passionate work that the CIM does.  Thank you to all of the volunteers and community members who made the weekend such a success.  Mark your calendars now for MIM 2014 for June 13-15!

This summer, CIM students and instructors will be performing at the Minnesota Irish Fair taking place on Harriet Island from August 9-11th.  Come support the CIM Main Stage Performance on Saturday, August 10th at 10:30am.  CIM instructor, Danielle Enblom will be back in town for a few weeks in August and will be leading the Irish Fair Performance Camp from August 5-10 (12:30-4pm daily) with Mattie Ernst.  There are still a few spots open for students who would like a week-long trad boot camp and we are extending a special half-price deal to any students who were registered in a CIM ensemble this spring term. Contact Erika to take advantage of this special deal!  

Looking forward to the Fall, the youth ensembles are open for registration.  The rest of the group classes will be posted in the next couple of weeks and Erika will be starting to schedule private lessons in late July.  Here is a reminder that the financial aid application deadline for Fall is August 15th.  

Have a wonderful summer full of tunes on the front porch, out on the lake, at home or right at the Celtic Junction with your CIM buds.
