Wonderful show Saturday with Nuala Kennedy and Eamon O'Leary. In the words of Lucy, one of our board members, "The show was a wonderful success. Nuala wowed the audience with her rich, deep vocals, haunting original songs, and her incredible flute- and pipe-playing chops, and Eamon’s voice and instrumental chops were no less impressive. Together their talents seemed to multiply, and they shared an evening of traditional music combined with their own creativity. Nuala’s singing of a song in the traditional Irish language was deeply moving and showed that music can reach the heart even when we don’t understand the words in a direct way."
