"...a tour de force..." -- Irish Times
Dynamic Dublin pianist, Thérèse Fahy, will present
Inter-changes: Irish Piano Music of the 21st Century. The concert, part of her US tour presented by Imagine Ireland and the Fulbright Commission, highlights music of Bill Whelan (composer of Riverdance) to jazz-influenced Ronan Guilfoyle - a cross-section of traditional to avant-garde Irish contemporary music. One of Ireland's foremost pianists, Fahy enjoys an active teaching and performing career, having received critical acclaim for her concerts in Europe, the US, and in broadcasts for both RTÉ and BBC.
You are cordially invited to a post-concert reception in the church social hall to meet Ms. Fahy and to enjoy the music of "Lilt," a DC-based duo of Tina Eck (flute, tinwhistle) and Keith Carr (bouzouki, banjo, mandolin, vocals). liltirishmusic.com
This concert is co-sponsored by Imagine Ireland and the Fulbright Commission.
