Workshops and Concerts

Cincinnati is not like Chicago, Boston or New York City, where the Irish immigrants continued playing their traditional music, handing it down for generations. Although we had an Irish immigrant population in the mid-1800s, the music did not survive the years. We had to begin it again from scratch. Because of that the Riley School strives to expose our students to as much Irish traditional music from outside our little bubble as we can.

Please take advantage of the workshops we sponsor and the Irish music events and concerts by touring professionals that take place around town. We want you to grow in your knowledge of the Irish music heritage and the culture surrounding it.
