Stages Music Arts presents an evening of Irish music with The Mount Clare Connection. The Mount Clare Connection plays Irish and American traditional music in regional styles from Maryland. At its core is an expansive duet between the button accordion (Peter Brice) and the fiddle (Joanna Clare), supported by the rich accompaniment on the guitar, five-string banjo and tenor banjo (Richard Osban).

The ensemble’s music traces legacies of Irish culture along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, and invests renewed and newly-composed melodies into the tapestry of Irish traditional music in America.
