With each concert, we strive to deliver more than music. Open Door Concert musicians bring stories, insights, and history to their performances and often cross musical genres in surprising ways. You won't want to miss the final two concerts of this season!
Solas is the most important Irish music band based in the United States.
Solas
Sunday, March 9 • 4pm
Solas was formed in 1995, unaware that they would quickly become a “lightning rod of talent”, setting new standards for musicianship and sparking the Celtic music scene in America. Over the course of twelve critically acclaimed albums and endless international touring, Solas brought their love and respect for the traditions of Irish music and their sense of melodic adventure to the world. After twenty years together, Solas decided to take a break in 2017. Now, after eight years, the break is over, and Solas is back to celebrate their 30th Anniversary!
