Please join us on Sunday, October 2, 3-6pm for an All-School Meeting. This invitation is open to ALL CIM students, parents, instructors, staff, and board members and we hope you'll join us for this opportunity to meet all together. Students should plan to bring their instruments for a session led by recent CIM grads Carmen Pasquerella and Liam O'Shea!
Poetry has always been one of the glories of Irish culture. In this class Dáithí Sproule will share a selection of Irish language poetry in English translation, choosing examples from as early as the 6th century up to the present day and filling in the historical and literary background. Dáithí looks forward to students bringing their own particular interests and loves to the conversation.
In the class, Dáithí Sproule will share songs from the repertoire of this influential music group of the late 1960s, early 70s, renowned for their harmonies and innovative arrangements on guitars and keyboard. Though closely associated with the songs of Donegal, the band consisting of Tríona and Maighread Ní Dhomhnaill, their brother Mícheál and Dáithí himself actually sang a wide range of material in English and Irish, including some non-traditional songs. Dáithí looks forward to teaching a selection of this material.
