Billy McComiskey

One of the world’'s truly great button accordionists, Billy McComiskey is the Irish-American king of the BC “box.” He is renowned on both sides of the Atlantic for his partnerships with fiddle stars Brendan Mulvihill and Liz Carroll, but on this occasion Billy will be playing with tenor banjo wizard Peter Fitzgerald, a County Meath native with whom he frequently performs in the Baltimore area. They will be accompanied by the young Baltimore keyboard ace Matt Mulqueen, star protégé of pianist Donna Long, who was originally scheduled to perform but has had to cancel due to family obligations.

Admission is free for members of Glucksman Ireland House and NYU students. $15 at the door for all others. No advance tickets.
