7:00 PM: Irish Music Session
If you’ve never experienced a real Irish music session, you’re in for a treat. Sessions are as much social gatherings as performances, as musicians gather in a circle and take turns starting tunes, which are then played as a group. Chris, Kathy, and Dennis will be the leaders of this session, with local Irish musicians joining them. The public is invited to come and enjoy the music. A freewill offering will be taken to benefit the Friends of Music fund.
If you are an experienced Irish musician and wish to join the session, please contact Sean Hackett at music2@stlukeslebanon.org.
All events will be held at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, 22 S. 6th Street, Lebanon, PA. Please click here for parking and accessibility information.
