CONCERT: Altan

With award-winning music ranging from touching old Irish songs to hard-hitting reels and jigs, Altan showcases its unwavering commitment to bringing the beauty of traditional music, particularly that of the Donegal fiddlers and singers, to the stage. The band’s international status and success was recognized in 1996 when it became the first Irish band of its kind to be signed by a major label, Virgin Records. The music from the band’s newest project, The Widening Gyre, reveals the similarities between traditional Irish music and bluegrass roots, exploring the ancient bond between the two styles and breaking new ground in the traditional scene.

In addition to Mr. Whipple’s presentation, we’ll discuss upcoming astronomy events in our community, club Secretary Richard Reynolds (another OLLI instructor) will make a short presentation on the paradox of why those above the arctic circle might still experience sunlight during the winter solstice, and we’ll raffle off two great books (http://www.astroasheville.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/ACA-Raffle-Items-October-2017.pdf).
