    2. TIMES agrees to pay an honorarium fee of $150.00 to be paid INSTRUCTOR by the closing of the RETREAT on Sunday, October 23rd, 2022 for INSTRUCTOR’S services listed below.
      1. Teach a one-hour Enrichment Class OR Workshop the topic and content of which are determined by INSTRUCTOR and approved by RETREAT Director.
      2. Perform during an instructors' concert during one evening of the retreat. Concert may be performed solo or with others according to INSTRUCTOR’s wishes.
    1. INSTRUCTOR will arrange and pay for his or her lodging, air travel, and meals.

    2. Unless already obtained by INSTRUCTOR for other purposes or not required for this engagement, INSTRUCTOR will be included in a group visa application obtained and paid for by TIMES for the sole purpose of the RETREAT covering October 13th to November 10th, 2022.  Individual INSTRUCTOR costs related to obtaining the group visa from the U.S. Embassy within Ireland will be borne by INSTRUCTOR. Should the INSTRUCTOR book other engagements during the timeframe covered by the TIMES visa, the TIMES will be recompensed a share of INSTRUCTOR’s portion of the visa costs based on the number of engagements.

    3. TIMES will provide a products booth for sales of books, recordings, and other music products which INSTRUCTOR has directly participated as a principal performer/author. INSTRUCTORS whose products are sold will be responsible for all pertinent taxes.  INSTRUCTORS will receive 97% of the proceeds from these sales.  TIMES will retain 3% to cover credit card processing fees.

Testimonials

Former Student

This was my first time to attend the Retreat. I was highly impressed with how well run it was, how well organized it was and how friendly and helpful everyone was. I have attended other Irish music schools in Milwaukee and Elkins, West Virginia and the O'Flaherty's Retreat was "top notch" from start to finish.
