The Irish Uilleann Pipes in America: A Living Tradition

The Irish uilleann pipes are perhaps the most uniquely recognizable and challenging of instruments in the world of traditional Irish music. However, this type of bagpipe almost faded into obscurity in the early 1900s. The presentation will explore how Irish piping and pipe making in America made an impact on the global piping tradition and will include a discussion of key musicians and craftsmen. Performances on the uilleann pipes as well as the traditional combination of pipes and fiddle will be interspersed throughout the program.

We are excited to share this innovative bilingual (Spanish-English) program called Wash and Learn. This creative literacy program organized by Roosevelt Elementary School in New Brunswick provides books for children of all ages, as well as adults. All donations are housed at a local laundromat to encourage students to read while parents are doing their laundry. 

To donate books to New Brunswick’s Wash and Learn program, please contact Anne-Marie Riveaux McMahon at 
anne-marie_mcmahon@nbpsnj.net and Maritza Acevedo at maritza_acevedo@nbpsnj.net.
