  • 1/23 Irish American History in Song

    You are invited to join Earthtones, the UConn World Music Vocal Ensemble, as we explore  the music, history and culture of the Irish-American Experience. The program-Across the Western Ocean-includes folk and popular songs that highlight specific historical periods, voice protest against injustices, and reflect a strong sense of pride, sense of humor and feeling of community. Some tunes are well-known, others are more obscure.

    We welcome those who like to learn about history and culture through music and are eager to participate in a unique artistic experience that culminates in a multi-media peformance. Instrumentalists and dancers also are welcome and encouraged to join.

    Earthtones is open to community members (no auditions) for a modest $35.00 fee.  The ensenmble meets on Wednesday evenings from 6:00-8:30 in MUSI108.  Come join us.
