Description
Prominent Irish music duo “Lilt” gives a performance of traditional dance music — jigs, reels, hornpipes, and other tunes — and provide insight into this beloved genre. They will discuss traditional instrumentation, the various tune forms (e.g., “what is an Irish jig? What’s the difference between a jig and a reel?), and give a glimpse of the vibrant Irish music scene. The duo are acclaimed performers and teachers of the tradition, playing flute, tin whistle, Irish bouzouki, and tenor banjo.
