Musical Workshop at the Library of Virginia
 
Ireland Meets Appalachia: A Conversation in Music 
Friday, May 21, 2010 
Time: 6:00 PM-7:30 PM 
Place: Lecture Hall

Three musicians-Mary Dailey and Jimmy Costa from Appalachia and Patrick O'Flaherty, a native Gaelic speaker from the west coast of Ireland-discuss and demonstrate through songs and tunes the common threads that run through the vocal and instrumental music of Ireland and Appalachia. The speakers will explore how the traditions evolved, and the similarities and differences they found when they began performing together. O'Flaherty will also discuss his immigration experience and involvement with Appalachian musical culture. The panel discussion will be moderated by Gregg Kimball, director of Education and Outreach at the Library of Virginia. The event will be followed by a reception.
