Happy St. Patrick's Day
We're celebrating St. Patrick's Day today. We'll hear musicians from Ireland, like James Galway and Camerata Ireland. We'll hear music from Ireland, Bryn Terfel singing Danny Boy, and Irish tunes from the baroque to the modern. And some music inspired by Ireland, an American concerto for violin with Irish roots, by Mark O'Connor.
