Profile
Verena completed a Masters in Ethnomusicology at the University of Limerick. Her Phd research case-studies the Willie Clancy Summer School, interrogating authenticity as a cultural resource within Irish traditional music. It appraises the school’s role in creative renewal through the facilitation of new contexts for engagement in the commemoration, transmission and performance of Irish traditional music.
