Planning
is well underway for another sensational week
in the historic Irish American hamlet of
East Durham
for the 14th Annual Catskills Irish Arts Week hosted by the M.J.
Quill Irish Cultural and Sports Centre.
We have assembled another terrific faculty of teachers and
entertainers who will continue to make the CIAW the place to be for
serious fans of Irish traditional music and dance.
You’ll see many familiar names on the faculty page and some
first-time visitors to the Catskills as well as the legend continues to
grow.
Keep your eye on the website for updates now and then but registration is
officially open now and if you
sign up for classes before March 1, 2008 we’ll extend that discount to
anyone who pays in full.
The faculty pages have been updated now but some changes if further
teachers are added that might impact the class levels but we will try to
keep that to a minimum to avoid confusion. Feel
free to send any questions to irishartsweek@gmail.com
or call 1-800-434-3378 or 518-634-2286.
This week only gets better with
age as we uphold the very vibrant
New York
tradition of keeping the music and dance alive and well in the
Catskill Mountains
. Thanks for your interest in the Catskills Irish Arts Week
