• On Friday, December 7, at 9 p.m., the Blarney Star Concert Series presents Jimmy Crowley, Cork singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist. Crowley has been in the forefront of the Irish traditional scene for four decades, performing with many Irish music luminaries but also as a solo performer, accompanying himself on bouzouki, mandolin, and harmonica.
• On Thursday, December 13, at 7 p.m., Ireland House celebrates Airneál na Nollag, an evening of traditional music and song with NYU students and local musicians, hosted by Irish language lecturer, Pádraig Ó Cearúill.
