Cascadia Irish Music Week
No Cascadia 2025
We have decided to take the year off and will not be presenting Cascadia Irish Music Week this summer. We've always depended on our incredible volunteers to make it happen, but now some of our key people are stepping back from their usual roles and it seems like a good time to take a break and consider our direction for the future. At this point we are laying plans to present a series of concerts around the Pacific Northwest during the year, as well as one or two smaller workshop events featuring Irish traditional music.
Please visit the website of our parent organization, www.ceolcascadia.org for announcements about upcoming concerts and other events.
Many, many thanks to all of you who've helped make Cascadia Irish Music Week a success.
Best wishes from The Cascadia Board
A word from Artistic Director Randal Bays
While we are sad to not present Cascadia Irish Music Week this summer, we're also excited to be moving in new directions. In particular we're looking forward to becoming more active in presenting concerts and workshops around the Northwest. Our goal is to find ways to reach a wider audience and make Irish traditional music accessible to everyone in the Cascadia region.
Ceol Cascadia also sponsors regional concerts and workshops, including the long running Irish tune learning classes taught by Randal Bays. Those classes have been going on for more than 12 years in Seattle, Olympia and online. Details can be found at http://randalbays.com/classesandlessons.html
Many thanks for the generous support of the Irish Consulate and the Irish Heritage Club of Seattle.
