Fancy returning to playing music? Did you play an instrument when you were younger and then family/career/travel prevented you from continuing to play? Well now is your opportunity!
This Heritage Week we welcome traditional musicians Lisa O’Sullivan (fiddle), Richard Lucey (button accordion/melodeon) and Conor O’Sullivan (guitar/banjo/mandolin) to launch our upcoming music project Making Music in Múscraí.
They will lead this teaching residency which invites local residents aged 55 and over to get back to playing music again by providing free tuition, access to instruments and opportunities to connect and learn through traditional Irish music. The residency will run from September 2024 and finishes in December 2024.
Places on the residency are limited to 15. Priority will be given on a first come first served basis, however additional criteria that will be taken into account for selection include availability of teaching slots, availability of instruments and ability to partake in the full programme. The residency will run in Ionad Cultúrtha.
For more information or to apply by phone call Sarah Ledwidge on 083 0162718 / 01 4750 224.
Closing date for applications: Monday the 2nd of September, 2:00pm.
