Glucksman Ireland House NYU

The banner of the Washington Square Harp and Shamrock Orchestra, depicting the US and Irish flags, with a shield picturing a shamrock and harp, symbols of Ireland.

New York University’s own traditional music group, The Washington Square Harp and Shamrock Orchestra, founded and directed by Prof. Mick Moloney, got serious and made a CD.

Since Maggie Dooley Learned The Hooley Hooley features a great selection of traditional tunes and songs, many from the Golden Age of Irish-American music-making in the 1920s and ’30s, when the Flanagan Brothers, the McNulty Family and a host of other immigrant musicians were cutting 78 rpm discs. With fiddles, flutes, whistles, piccolo, tenor banjo, mandolin, piano, guitar and songs, the Orchestra helps bring this great old repertoire back to life.

Pick up your CD at the concert, or the album is available for purchase or download on CDBaby.com.
