Fisher Auditorium, 亚色影库 Performing Arts Center

This event is over.

Recalling the roaring hearths and volumes of laughter that are part of the holidays in Ireland, virtuoso fiddler Eileen Ivers and her ensemble, Immigrant Soul, will perform a spirited show titled 鈥淎n Nollaig: An Irish Christmas.鈥

Winning awards for her incredible fiddling, Ivers has performed for presidents and royalty worldwide, including with the London Symphony Orchestra, the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center, and the Boston Pops. She has been called a 鈥渟ensation鈥 by Billboard magazine and 鈥渢he Jimi Hendrix of the violin鈥 by the New York Times. As a unique treat for its 亚色影库 performance, the group will be joined by the local gospel choir, Voices of Joy.

Late Change: We were planning for dancers from Burke Conroy School of Irish Dance in Pittsburgh to join in the performance for Tuesday evening. Unfortunately, two of the dancers were recently injured and are unable to join us.
