Pipes And Piping In Ireland
Sunday, June 06, 2010

With Bill Ochs

Length: 2 hrs 00 mins
Intermission: Yes
Seating: General Admission
You choose your seats when you get to the theater.

Join us for a fabulous multi-media presentation that traces the development of piping in Ireland from the Middle Ages to the present. Master piper Bill Ochs has assembled a fascinating collection of woodcuts, lithographs, photos, and rare archival recordings that tell the story of the emergence of the uilleann pipes, the world's most sophisticated bagpipe.

To be followed by a solo piping concert in which Ochs demonstrates the full range and scope of this uniquely Irish instrument.

"A most stimulating, informative, and entertaining presentation." -Professor Mick Moloney, NYU
