The Center for Irish Music is embarking on a community story-sharing project in 2024. We welcome and encourage all of our community to join in conversation with each other, by sharing stories of how Irish music weaves its way into the fabric of our lives. Marking CIM's 20th anniversary, this project makes time for conversation, connection and reflection. By recognizing and uplifting our stories, identities, and backgrounds, together we can help our community grow and evolve.
Stories will be published throughout the year and will be posted below. We hope you enjoy getting to know more about the people who help make the Center for Irish Music a vibrant, diverse, and joy-filled music community.
We are excited to host three community story-sharing sessions in June.
Agenda:
- First half: At your table, we will share our stories based on these two questions:
- How did your love for Irish music lead you to the Center for Irish Music?
- How has Irish music shaped and impacted who you are?
- Second half: At your table, discuss “What can CIM and all of us do to support who we are as musicians and lifelong learners? What will allow us to show up more fully as ourselves?”
- Closing activity: What can each of us bring to make CIM a better place to learn Irish music?”
