Grove Street tribute show in Peterborough features Irish composer Turlough O’Carolan

The band Grove Street will present its second tribute concert featuring the music of Irish composer Turlough O’Carolan on Sunday, March 16, at 4 p.m. at the Monadnock Center for History & Culture, 19 Grove St.

The event is free to the public, with donations appreciated.

The two-hour concert will include a range of O’Carolan’s compositions, from airs to jigs. The traditional Irish music will be performed by Chaz Beaulieu on flute, David Duhon on cello, Eric Blackmer on acoustic guitar and Lisa Murray on piano.

O’Carolan was a blind itinerant harpist who lived in the late 1600s and early 1700s. Though lyrics were originally set to his melodies, only the music remains.

The concert also marks the release of Grove Street’s new CD, "The Harp Unstrung," which will be available for purchase at the venue.
