Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Irish traditional music at an exclusive concert featuring two of the most distinguished artists in the realm of folk and ethnomusicology.

Colin Harte, with his extensive academic background and active participation in the New York jazz, Latin, and Irish traditional music communities, brings a scholarly yet soulful approach to the music. His work, especially his publication "An Bodhrán: Experimentation and Innovation," showcases his deep understanding and innovative exploration of Irish music.

Dylan James, a Mid-Atlantic Fleadh Champion on both mandolin and banjo, and a prodigy trained under the guidance of legendary trad musicians, brings his exceptional skill and passion for Irish music to the fore. From his early days of dance with Niall O’leary to performances at iconic venues and contributions to the trad session and gig circuit of NYC, James embodies the spirit and continuity of the Irish musical tradition.
