Join us at The H.A.R.P. Museum at the Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley on Wednesday, February 21, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. as we go down a rabbit hole to check out the roots of traditional Irish music.
The history of traditional Irish music goes back to the time when the Celts arrived on the shamrock shores nearly 2500 years ago. Some has been lost in legend and much of it has been and is being preserved by persons of great vision safeguarding their heritage. In this multimedia program we will look at how traditional Irish music has changed due to political influences, immigration, and technology among other factors.
Our presenter will be Michael Hoke, a 40-plus year member and musician for the Craobh Dugan-O’Looney chapter of Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann, an international organization whose mission is to preserve and promote traditional Irish music, dance, and language.
You can attend this presentation at the H.A.R.P. Museum located on the second floor of the Irish Cultural Center of the Mohawk Valley, 623 Columbia St, Utica. All are welcome to attend this program and the museum is wheelchair accessible.
This event is FREE but we ask that you register in advance for planning purposes.
