Registered students participate in daily classes Monday, July 13 – Friday, July 17, 2026. The week closes with a full-day music and dance Festival on Saturday, July 18.

In addition to daily class instruction, we offer afternoon presentations, evening concerts, nightly ceili dances and participatory sessions in a very active week! This year we are strengthening our introductory music program for children ages 5-12, and will also be offering some special events to gather teens and young adults.

We have assembled an esteemed roster of instructors, from Ireland and the United States, who teach and perform at the highest levels of traditional Irish music and dance. Along with teaching morning and afternoon classes, they will be featured performers in the evening concerts and ceili bands, and lead the nightly sessions.

GO Strings Initiative is an educational performance concept developed by

Gerry O’Connor and Hillary Wagner. Their goal is to invite classically trained players of bowed string instruments to perform authentic traditional Irish fiddle music.

Starting from the classical strengths of strong reading and quick adaptation, GO Strings provides clearly written scores paired with original audio video samples performed by Gerry O’Connor and GO Quintet, a private pre-program video fiddle lesson with Gerry for the teacher, and includes complete lesson plans for every tune in the concert program, bridging the gap to this cherished, world-favourite, fiddle custom.
