Dear MAC Friends!

I am so thrilled to be writing to you with the wonderful news that we are returning to in-person performances in time to celebrate our 35th anniversary together! We have safety protocols in place to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, which you can read about on our website, atthemac.org. As the pandemic changes, so will our policies and we will keep you updated.

This season is packed with your favorites. Music fans will enjoy everything from electrifying BoDeans, to the legendary Oak Ridge Boys, to The Texas Tenors. Get ready for a Mardi Gras and Zydeco party with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band at Mardi Gras Mambo. I also look forward to sharing one of the most compelling concerts I’ve seen, in an evening with Tony Award-winning Broadway star, Heather Headley.

We are happy to remain the home of our resident companies Buffalo Theatre Ensemble and New Philharmonic. BTE brings live theater back with Stove Toucher, a one-man show written and performed by Kurt Naebig, and closes the season with Naperville by Mat Smart. New Philharmonic Orchestra and Maestro Muspratt are putting on a blockbuster season starting with a Spooktakular concert filled with themes from your favorite horror cinema classics, followed by American melodies in Dvořák’s New World Symphony featuring the incomparable David Taylor playing one of the most complex violin pieces, culminating in a concert version of West Side Story.

Following the blockbuster Frida Kahlo exhibition this summer, the Cleve Carney Museum of Art will open its season with COD alum and brilliant contemporary artist Tony Fitzpatrick. We will close the MAC season in 2022 by bringing back the beloved free outdoor Lakeside Summer series!

We look forward to seeing you and engaging in thought-provoking, joy-inducing, exciting LIVE entertainment. I look forward to seeing you back at the MAC soon!

Enjoy the show!

Director, McAninch Arts Center

Hailing from historic Counties Waterford, Cork, Donegal and Dublin, Danú is one of the leading traditional Irish ensembles of today. Their standing room only concerts throughout Ireland are true events featuring high-energy performances and a glorious mix of ancient Irish music and new repertoire.
 
For over two decades, Danú’s virtuosi players on flute, tin whistle, fiddle, button accordion, bouzouki, and vocals (Irish and English), have performed around the globe and recorded seven critically acclaimed albums. Their live DVD, One Night Stand, was filmed at Vicar St.,Dublin. Winners of numerous awards from the BBC and Irish Music Magazine, Danú has toured throughout Europe, the Middle East, and North America with stops at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Symphony Space in New York City, and major concert engagements in the United Kingdom, India, Israel, and across Europe. Danú takes its audiences on a musical journey to their native Ireland, offering a moving and memorable concert experience. Danú’s popular recordings are available on the Shanachie label and live performances are often broadcast on NPR, the CBC, and the BBC.

Slides: She Hasn't the Thing She Thought She Had (Trad.) / Denis Murphy’s (Trad.) / Abbey's Green Isle (Trad.), arr. Danú
Nell's Aunt Eileen O’Riordan was the source of the first two slides in this set. The last tune comes from the great Sliabh Luachra box player Denis Doody.
 
Jigs: The New House (PaddyO'Brien) / Brown-Eyed Bridget (Oisín McAuley) / The Humours of Holliston (Oisín McAuley), arr. Danú
The first jig of this set is composed by the great accordion player Paddy O'Brien from Nenagh, County Tipperary. Our own Oisín McAuley composed the second and third jigs.
 
Song: Foggy Dew (Canon Charles O’Neill), arr. Danú
This is a well-known and loved song in Ireland; it was written by Canon Charles O’Neillin 1922 from Co. Down. It pays homage to all those who fought in the Irish Civil War as well as those Irish people who went to fight for Great Britain in World War I.
 
Hornpipes: The Connemara Hornpipe (Vincent Broderick) / The Leverette (Mairtin O’Connor), arr. Danú
The first hornpipe is called “The Connemara Hornpipe.” It's one of Vincent Broderick's. The music can be found in his book of tunes, The Turoe Stone Vol. 2. In the book, the description reads: "This tune came to Vincent while on a visit to Carraroe, County Galway. The sound of the waves crashing on to the beach had a strange musical tone. "The key of the tune in the book is D major. We've transposed it to G major for this recording. The second tune is abouncy composition by the great Galway Accordion maestro Mairtin O'Connor.
 
Reels: The Poor Mans Fortune (P.O'Brien) / The Long Strand (Trad.) / Reel Gan Ainm (Trad.), arr. Danú
The first of these lovely reels was composed by the great Offaly Accordionist Paddy O’Brien. The second reel was sourced in the book O’Neill’s 1001 collection of Irish Music. The last tune we heard from the Dublin piper Mick O’Brien.
 
Song: Ten Thousand Miles (Trad.), arr. Danú
This is an 18th Century Folk Ballad and is also known as “The Turtle Dove” or “Fare Thee Well, ”we learnt it from the great Folk singer Nic Jones. It tells the tale of a lover bidding farewell before setting off on a big journey.
 
Hornpipe, Reels: Tuamgraney Castle (Trad.) / The Broken Pledge (Trad.) / The Braes of Busby (Trad.), arr. Danú
The hornpipe “Tuamgraney Castle” is from East Clare. This unusual version of “The Broken Pledge” came from master piper Liam O'Flynn. We heard this particular version of “The Braes of Busby” from the playing of another great piper, Ronan Browne.
 
Mo Ghile Mear (Seán Clárach Mac Domhnaill), arr. Danú
Another great song in the Irish Language. This lament was written in the 18th Century and was composed in the convention of Aisling poetry.

Dear MAC Friends!

I am so thrilled to be writing to you with the wonderful news that we are returning to in-person performances in time to celebrate our 35th anniversary together! We have safety protocols in place to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19, which you can read about on our website, atthemac.org. As the pandemic changes, so will our policies and we will keep you updated.

This season is packed with your favorites. Music fans will enjoy everything from electrifying BoDeans, to the legendary Oak Ridge Boys, to The Texas Tenors. Get ready for a Mardi Gras and Zydeco party with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band at Mardi Gras Mambo. I also look forward to sharing one of the most compelling concerts I’ve seen, in an evening with Tony Award-winning Broadway star, Heather Headley.

We are happy to remain the home of our resident companies Buffalo Theatre Ensemble and New Philharmonic. BTE brings live theater back with Stove Toucher, a one-man show written and performed by Kurt Naebig, and closes the season with Naperville by Mat Smart. New Philharmonic Orchestra and Maestro Muspratt are putting on a blockbuster season starting with a Spooktakular concert filled with themes from your favorite horror cinema classics, followed by American melodies in Dvořák’s New World Symphony featuring the incomparable David Taylor playing one of the most complex violin pieces, culminating in a concert version of West Side Story.

Following the blockbuster Frida Kahlo exhibition this summer, the Cleve Carney Museum of Art will open its season with COD alum and brilliant contemporary artist Tony Fitzpatrick. We will close the MAC season in 2022 by bringing back the beloved free outdoor Lakeside Summer series!

We look forward to seeing you and engaging in thought-provoking, joy-inducing, exciting LIVE entertainment. I look forward to seeing you back at the MAC soon!

Enjoy the show!

Diana Martinez
Director, McAninch Arts Center

Their standing room only concerts throughout Ireland are true events featuring high-energy performances and a glorious mix of ancient Irish music and new repertoire.
 
For over two decades, Danú’s virtuosi players on flute, tin whistle, fiddle, button accordion, bouzouki, and vocals (Irish and English), have performed around the globe and recorded seven critically acclaimed albums. Their live DVD, One Night Stand, was filmed at Vicar St.,Dublin. Winners of numerous awards from the BBC and Irish Music Magazine, Danú has toured throughout Europe, the Middle East, and North America with stops at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Symphony Space in New York City, and major concert engagements in the United Kingdom, India, Israel, and across Europe. Danú takes its audiences on a musical journey to their native Ireland, offering a moving and memorable concert experience. Danú’s popular recordings are available on the Shanachie label and live performances are often broadcast on NPR, the CBC, and the BBC.

Slides: She Hasn't the Thing She Thought She Had (Trad.) / Denis Murphy’s (Trad.) / Abbey's Green Isle (Trad.), arr. Danú
Nell's Aunt Eileen O’Riordan was the source of the first two slides in this set. The last tune comes from the great Sliabh Luachra box player Denis Doody.
 
Jigs: The New House (PaddyO'Brien) / Brown-Eyed Bridget (Oisín McAuley) / The Humours of Holliston (Oisín McAuley), arr. Danú
The first jig of this set is composed by the great accordion player Paddy O'Brien from Nenagh, County Tipperary. Our own Oisín McAuley composed the second and third jigs.
 
Song: Foggy Dew (Canon Charles O’Neill), arr. Danú
This is a well-known and loved song in Ireland; it was written by Canon Charles O’Neillin 1922 from Co. Down. It pays homage to all those who fought in the Irish Civil War as well as those Irish people who went to fight for Great Britain in World War I.
 
Hornpipes: The Connemara Hornpipe (Vincent Broderick) / The Leverette (Mairtin O’Connor), arr. Danú
The first hornpipe is called “The Connemara Hornpipe.” It's one of Vincent Broderick's. The music can be found in his book of tunes, The Turoe Stone Vol. 2. In the book, the description reads: "This tune came to Vincent while on a visit to Carraroe, County Galway. The sound of the waves crashing on to the beach had a strange musical tone. "The key of the tune in the book is D major. We've transposed it to G major for this recording. The second tune is abouncy composition by the great Galway Accordion maestro Mairtin O'Connor.
 
Reels: The Poor Mans Fortune (P.O'Brien) / The Long Strand (Trad.) / Reel Gan Ainm (Trad.), arr. Danú
The first of these lovely reels was composed by the great Offaly Accordionist Paddy O’Brien. The second reel was sourced in the book O’Neill’s 1001 collection of Irish Music. The last tune we heard from the Dublin piper Mick O’Brien.
 
Song: Ten Thousand Miles (Trad.), arr. Danú
This is an 18th Century Folk Ballad and is also known as “The Turtle Dove” or “Fare Thee Well, ”we learnt it from the great Folk singer Nic Jones. It tells the tale of a lover bidding farewell before setting off on a big journey.
 
Hornpipe, Reels: Tuamgraney Castle (Trad.) / The Broken Pledge (Trad.) / The Braes of Busby (Trad.), arr. Danú
The hornpipe “Tuamgraney Castle” is from East Clare. This unusual version of “The Broken Pledge” came from master piper Liam O'Flynn. We heard this particular version of “The Braes of Busby” from the playing of another great piper, Ronan Browne.
 
Mo Ghile Mear (Seán Clárach Mac Domhnaill), arr. Danú
Another great song in the Irish Language. This lament was written in the 18th Century and was composed in the convention of Aisling poetry.
