The Class of 1945 Library's second summer concert, “An Evening of Traditional Irish Music and Song,” will feature Irish Harper Regina Delaney and the band Réagánta. This concert also includes performances by Claudia Altemus and Gene Durkee.

Delaney is an Irish harper, singer and dancer. As an artist on the N.H. State Council on the Arts roster and the MainArts commission, she performs and teaches in schools throughout the state where she introduces students to Irish poetry, music, song, dance, history and literature.

Delaney performs regularly in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and is a regular seisiun player—an Irish performance session of musicians and singers. She is an active member of the Hanafin-Cooley branch of the Boston Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann, an international organization founded in Ireland in 1951 to preserve traditional Irish music and culture.

Musical partner Altemus will perform on a penny whistle#a popular musical flute in Ireland, England and Scotland#with Durkee performing on guitar. The group will also sing several well-known traditional Irish songs.
