10:30 a.m. Convocation: Four Shillings Short Performance
Wallenberg Hall
This innovative duo combines elements of Indian Raga, Celtic and American Folk, and other ethnic idioms to create are truly unique musical sound. The duo, Aodh Óg and Christy Martin, utilize a wide variety of music instruments including the hammered dulcimer, sitar, Renaissance crumhorn, mandola and mandolin, tinwhistle and woodwinds, banjo, and percussion and vocals. The group performs traditional Irish tunes, Indian Ragas, Medieval/Renaissance folk ballades, and contemporary folk.

 

Their sound has been described as “wonderously diverse,” “truly refreshing,” and “alternative neo-Celtic folk of the first order.” An excerpt from a review in the Albuquerque Journal went as follows: “The wavering, mystical tones of the sitar hover behind the Celtic melodies like a sari-wrapped ghost hovering over the moors…..the duo bring an experimental spirit to traditional music, mixing Irish, Indian and American influences into a sound as multi-cultural as a U.N. meeting.”
