Ireland - A Musical Tradition in Song, Dance and Instrument

Please join us as the Seton Hall University Libraries presents a program celebrating the history of Irish culture through evolutionary tales and musical interpretation. This two-part event will feature a lecture entitled "Tradition and Revival: a Look at Irish Set Dancing" by Paul Keating, a writer on traditional music for the Irish Voice newspaper.
