What is the retreats purpose/mission?
The O’Flaherty Irish Music Retreat is a learning environment that focuses on the fundamentals of traditional Irish music. It serves to encourage young and new players as they struggle through the learning process. It also challenges more experienced players to master their instruments and the music that they love. But most of all, it is a continuation of a tradition that started long ago in Ireland as the music was passed down from one generation to another to preserve it. It has since evolved into a “world” music, but the tradition of passing it on and preserving it is alive and well, even in Texas.
