The timetable for Scoil na gCláirseach 2009 is now available on the website, at www.irishharpschool.com/timetable.htm

This year's timetable introduces some significant changes from previous years. As well as the usual class tuition, there will be workshops and also a new series of masterclass sessions, which provides summer school participants the opportunity to have individual 'hands-on' time with one of the three tutors.

Tuition staff for 2009 are Ann Heymann, Andrew Lawrence-King and Siobhán Armstrong, with lectures from Breandán Ó Madagáin, Seán Donnelly, Keith Sanger and Simon Chadwick.

The popular public tutor concert will be held in the Parade Tower of Kilkenny Castle, on Wednesday 19th August, and the all-day harpmakers exhibition will be on Sunday 16th August.
