The Blue Ridge Irish Music School (BRIMS) has a lot to celebrate in 2025! In 2000 a group of young musicians and dancers and two fiddle teachers fundraised and performed their way to a musical study trip in Ireland. The idea of a school emerged from this adventure and BRIMS became a 501c3 nonprofit organization and opened its doors to the public later that year. 2025 marks 25 years of teaching the living art of Irish music, dance and song in Central Virginia!
