From the Comhaltas Rochester Irish Music Association:
Want to learn an instrument? Step dance? Sing?
Join us for an afternoon of free workshops in Irish music, dance, and culture, led by members of the Rochester Irish community. This event, which had been run for 14 years at Nazareth College, has moved a mile up the street to St. John Fisher College! The Tom Finucane Branch of Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann are excited to have the event back for its fourth year at Fisher in 2019.
Workshops Noon-4pm.
At 4pm, performances by Roisín Dubh and the Gates Keystone Pipe Band, followed by a Traditional Music Session!
