Cabot Public Library - St. Patrick's Day
Tuesday, March 17 – 6:30pm

Join us for St. Patrick’s Day! In Irish folk tradition, no musical session is ever complete without stories about the tunes being played, the musicians who played them, or some mystical or humorous tale. With Irish harp and uilleann bagpipes among other instruments, Hilari Farrington & Benedict Koehler will take you on a tour of Ireland through its music, folk customs, and stories. Benedict Koehler and his wife, Hilari Farrington, have taught and performed widely on uilleann bagpipes, penny whistle, Irish harp, and button accordion, and their East Montpelier home is a noted gathering place for musicians from all over North America and Ireland. Benedict enjoys a worldwide reputation as a maker of the uilleann bagpipes, while Hilari teaches a popular humanities course on Ireland at CCV. They are the founders of the Vermont School of Irish Traditional music where they offer classes, workshops and concerts of Irish music.
