Jubilee Community Arts and Traditional Irish Arts of Knoxville present a night of Irish music at the Laurel Theater featuring Haley Richardson and Don Penzien, with special guest Will Bryant, Saturday, September 21 at 8 pm, sponsored by Boyd’s Jig & Reel.

Haley and Will are fresh off the Riverdance circuit and are joined by Don for an evening of Irish music and dance. Don and Haley toured regularly together until Haley became a core musician for Riverdance where she met Will. Taking advantage of Haley and Will’s brief fall break the three musicians have teamed up for a series of exciting shows across the US.

Haley Richardson: Haley has amassed a long list of All Ireland and other championship titles (solo fiddle and slow airs) and has performed the world over. Haley brings a rare dynamism and energy to her music, informed by her thorough knowledge of the Sligo fiddle style. Currently the fiddler for the 25th Anniversary tour of Riverdance, Haley has performed with many of the best-known Irish musicians including The Chieftains, Altan, Dervish, Mick Moloney and Green Fields of America, Pride of New York, Liz Carroll with Cherish the Ladies, John Whelan, Paddy Keenan, The Máirtín de Cógáin Project.

Don Penzien has long been a top-flight performer of Irish traditional music. He frequently is on the road playing concerts and festivals with Gailfean and The Máirtín de Cógáin Project and has served as accompanist for numerous other well-known performers. Widely recognized for his reserved backing style, Don’s dexterous work on DADGAD-tuned guitar provides solid, driving rhythms to traditional tunes as well as perceptive and sensitive accompaniments to songs and airs.

William Bryant: A native of Sydney Australia, Will has been dancing since he was four years old. He trained in various styles from ballet to tap to jazz to contemporary, including Irish step dance. Will has toured as a lead dancer with Riverdance for nine years.

$20 at the door, $15 General Audience Advance, $14 JCA members, students & seniors 65+

Chamber Music Series - Join us for four extraordinary concerts featuring world-class ensembles!

Akropolis Reed Quintet: September 21 at 3pm @ First United Methodist of Oak Ridge Founded in 2009, this contemporary ensemble of five reed instruments delivers captivating performances with a diverse repertoire.

Welcome to Sanger Ships LLC and our two Columbus replica ships - our original Niña, the most historically accurate replica of a Columbus Ship ever built, and our newer Pinta.

The Niña is a replica of the ship on which Columbus sailed across the Atlantic on his three voyages of discovery to the new world beginning in 1492. Columbus sailed the tiny ship over 25,000 miles. That ship was last heard of in 1501, but the new Niña has a different mission. We are a floating museum, and we visit ports all over the Western Hemisphere.

Pinta was recently built in Brazil to accompany the Nina on all of her travels. She is a larger version of the archetypal caravel and offers larger deck space for walk-aboard tours and has a 40 ft air conditioned main cabin down below with seating. Pinta is available for private parties and charters.

Both The Niña and Pinta will be touring together as a new and enhanced ‘sailing museum’, for the purpose of educating the public and school children on the ‘caravel’, a Portuguese ship used by Columbus and many early explorers to discover the world.
