Enter the Haggis Educational Performance

Enter the HaggisFriday, January 20, 2012, 9:30 

Enter the Haggis plays the music of Ireland and Scotland, but with a contemporary edge. The band has made waves in the musicality of the genre, with high listings on World Music charts for its multi-influence style of Celtic rock. The band will perform for the students, introduce their instruments - guitar, fiddle and pipes and discuss the traditional music of Ireland and Scotland and their approach to interpreting and playing it for a young audience.

A second show will be added at 11:30 am if the 9:30 am show fills.
