An All Ireland Affair: The Music of The Famous Flanagan Brothers

Flanagan Brothers: In the 1920s and 1930s, the Flanagan Brothers were one of Irish music's most successful acts. Major attractions on radio and in New York City’s leading dance halls, the group's creative, high-spirited sound, captured on the nearly 170 sides they made for every record label of the day, tells a vivid story about Irish immigration and perfectly reflects the sensibility of the era’s Irish community. This concert will explore the trio’s ebullient genius through live performance, rare archival sounds, and projected images that celebrate the music and legacy of these important Irish music pioneers.
