Martin Hayes and The Common Ground Ensemble: “Toss the Feathers” / “The Magerabaun Reel”
Irish fiddler Martin Hayes and his Common Ground Ensemble took to our largest stage last March, kicking off a new annual St. Patrick's celebration at Carnegie Hall!
The evening featured traditional sean-nós singing and dancing, and energetic modern takes on Irish traditions with percussive dancers Nic Gareiss and Stephanie Keane, guitarist and vocalist Sam Amidon, harpist and vocalist Síle Denvir, and Pulitzer Prize– and T. S. Eliot Prize–winning poet Paul Muldoon.
Hayes returns in March 202…
Presented by Carnegie Hall in collaboration with Irish Arts Center, New York, and National Concert Hall, Dublin; with support from Culture Ireland. A co-presentation with Askonas Holt.
