The Luck O’ the Irish (and the Jewish) Musicians

As you know, I am fascinated by Irish/Jewish connections. Therefore, it is my distinct pleasure to let you know about a concert this Saturday night that the Museum is co-presenting at Symphony Space. Kilts and kippahs welcome!

Saturday, October 24, 8 P.M.

Irish Arts Center presents

If It Wasn't For the Irish and the Jews

A Tribute to Irish and Jewish Influences on Vaudeville and Early Tin Pan Alley

In association with Center for Jewish History, NYU Glucksman Ireland House, American Irish Historical Society, Consul General of Ireland, Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust

For one-night-only, join renowned musician-folklorist Mick Moloney and an all star cast including Vince Giordano and the Nighthawks, Kerith Spencer-Shapiro and special guests, for a concert celebration of this charming and unexplored story of good-natured ethnic flux, competition, and cooperation that left a lasting imprint on American popular music.
