The New York Irish Center kicks off its popular “Crossroads Concerts,” for 2026 this month.
We enjoyed one of these cross cultural musical dialogs last May. Can’t wait for this year’s concerts. It’s a wild concept. And it works!
Colin Harte, ethnomusicologist and educator curated the 6-concert series which will start on Thursday January 29 at 7pm and run through June.
The featured fusions are:
- Irish- Southern Italian-Sicilian (Jan 29)
- Irish-Turkish (Feb 26)
- Irish Sene-Gambian (Mar 26)
- Irish-Moroccan Gnawa (Apr 16)
- a special encore of Irish and Puerto Rican Bomba (May 28)
- Irish-Albanian (Jun 11).
All shows fall on Thursdays, and are at 7pm. Tickets, which are $25, are now on sale at www.newyorkirishcenter.org
