Open the Door for Three

This performance will be held on the third floor of the Shalin Liu Performance Center.

An incredibly dynamic trio based between Chicago and Maine and representing the very finest of Irish Music in America. Fiddler Liz Knowles and piper Kieran O’Hare are two of the most sought-after traditional musicians on both sides of the Atlantic and, for a long time now, have paired their formidable instrumental skills with the timeless voice and guitar playing of Dublin-born Pat Brauders. The result is a dynamic, momentous sound paired with laugh-out-loud repartee between three old friends.
