Martin Hayes Duo

"One of the best fiddlers on the planet" (NPR), known for his “insatiable appetite for adventure” (The Irish Times), Martin Hayes returns to our stage after a sold-out performance last season. Joined by guitarist Kyle Sanna and special guest banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck, our 26/27 season artist-in-residence, these musical masters explore the intercontinental journey of Ireland’s traditional music and its influence on American roots traditions. Fleck will also perform the world premiere of Plain Songs, a Penn Live Arts commission for solo banjo. Don’t miss this one-night-only convergence of extraordinary musical voices.
