The Music Department at UCC are delighted to host Trad Talk 2022, a one-day symposium focused on a diverse range of issues in the Irish traditional arts community. The event will take place in Boole 3 on the main UCC Campus on Saturday, November 5th. Curated by the traditional arts resource organisation, Trad Ireland, the symposium will include discussion and performances from a range of national and international contributors working in the Irish traditional arts sector.

 

To mark 100 years of Irish traditional music at UCC, the Trad Talk programme will also reflect on the significance of this milestone centenary for both the University and the wider Irish traditional music community.

 

The inaugural Trad Talk, a professional development symposium held in Dublin Castle on Saturday November 16th 2019, included key input from international speakers, and drew on diverse experiences of developing artist support structures in other jurisdictions. https://www.trad-ireland.com
