Rediscovering Celtic Heritage: Musical Legacies across the Irish Sea -- Day 2

- The careers, contributions, and compositions of female musicians in the Celtic nations
- The cultivation of cultural identities through music
- Transnational collaboration and exchange
- Cross-disciplinary artistic and creative partnerships
