Cóisir brings together three of Colorado’s top Irish music talents: Jessie Burns (formerly of Gaelic Storm) on fiddle, Pete Strickler on tenor banjo, and Marty Smith on bouzouki and vocals. They will be joined by special guest Johnny B Connolly, originally from Dublin, Ireland on accordion. Cóisir, pronounced much like the word “kosher”, means “Party” in Irish. And the music is a party, too! Cóisir performs traditional dance music from Ireland, intertwined with haunting songs and original tunes.

A portion of the proceeds from this concert will benefit Education Through Music. They partner with under-resourced schools to provide music as a core subject for all children, and utilize music education as a catalyst to improve academic achievement, motivation for school and self-confidence. Education Through Music believes that every child deserves access to high-quality music education, taught by qualified and well-trained music teachers.
