8th Annual Celtic Appalachian Celebration

At this time, in the interest of protecting our artists, audiences, teachers, students, colleagues, and the vulnerable among us, we will be suspending all IAC events and classes and events through the end of March. Please read our full statement here.

“Celtic Appalachia tops St. Patrick’s Day celebrations—Mick Moloney and Irish Arts Center triumph”—Irish Central

Irish Arts Center returns to Symphony Space for this wildly entertaining celebration of the shared lineage and vibrant interplay between Irish and Appalachian musical traditions. Host Mick Moloney and the Green Fields of America are joined by some of the most elemental forces in bluegrass, old-time, and clogging today—Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass, Nora Brown, Stephanie Coleman, and Megan Downes—for a rousing musical fête.
