The Blarney Star Concert Series presents concertina player Noel HillDecember 1st, Friday, 9pm
THE BLARNEY STAR CONCERT SERIES : Noel Hill
Noel Hill is Ireland’s greatest concertina player. He hails from County Clare, the heartland of Irish concertina music, where he absorbed the influences of the many fine local players before going on to create his own spectacularly virtuosic style. Noel is particularly noted for his adaptation to the concertina of the complex ornamentation and chordal accompaniment used by great uilleann pipers such as the late Séamus Ennis and Willie Clancy. Noel has also made some of the most important traditional music recordings of the past three decades, including highly praised collaborations with fiddler Tony Linnane and button accordionist Tony MacMahon and his own solo discs The Irish Concertina and The Irish Concertina Two.
No advance tickets. Admission is free for Members of Glucksman Ireland House and NYU students. $15 at the door for all others.
Glucksman Ireland House is located at
One Washington Mews,
on Fifth Avenue between 8th Street and
the Washington Square Arch.
