Folger Consort performed Dublin: Celtic and Art Music from March 15 to March 17, 2013.

Dublin: Celtic and Art Music sampled the rich array of music from Ireland and its Celtic neighbor Scotland, including pieces for bagpipe, harp, and fiddle, as well as the English court music of the time, including compositions by William Lawes, blind harpist Turlough O’Carolan, and others. The Consort performed with harpist Ann Heymann, soprano Molly Quinn, and period strings.
