Christmas O’Carolan
Join newlyweds—fiddler Katie Grennan, and accordionist John Williams—for a concert that blends traditional and contemporary Irish melodies with beloved Christmas classics. Also on board are harpist Lauren Hayes, and vocalists Nora Byrd and Liam Kantor. The evening will feature stunning, heartfelt pieces composed by Turlough O’Carolan (the blind Irish harper from the 1600s), spirited jigs and reels, and many of those holiday songs that you know and love. Get ready to clap, dance, and sing along!
