Support the Cruinniú!
Contracting with top instructors and producing great content costs money. There are many different ways that you, or your business, can support the Cruinniú—with a financial contribution or an in-kind donation.
Sponsors
The Cruinniú is a project of the non-profit Houston School of Irish Music—a branch of the North Texas School of Irish Music. Additional support comes from the Irish Government’s Emigrant Support Program.
Special thanks to our host hotel, Crowne Plaza, and venue sponsor, University of St. Thomas. And a huge shout out to the Penny Whistle Pub!
