In the "olde days" in Ireland, music was written and performed using traditional instruments like the fiddle and tin whistle.  Emigrants from Ireland brought these instruments and repertoire to the United States, giving rise to what we know as Irish American folk music.  Join Barry Wiesenfeld, Brian Conway and Tim Harte as they take you on a musical journey from Ireland to the New World.

*This program is made possible by a generous gift from Glenn P. and Susan D. Dickes to the AWPL Foundation.
