Daniel-O!'s Blog (9)

Hi folks,

Just returned back from our concert tour of Cork, Clare, Galway, and Dublin. Check out video and links to our travel blog coming up soon.
In the meantime I just posted one video of us playing in St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. Enjoy!

I am now in the process of working on the 2010 tour of the USI Chamber Choir to the Emerald Isle. This will be our fourth tour promoting wonderful selections of sacred music and Irish Traditional music for choir and instruments. If you have any contacts in Ireland that would enjoy a wonderful concert, we specialize in concerts for Irish Charities. If your organization is looking for a good fundraiser, this is the perfect way to bring in a few euros for your favorite charity.

Coming soon... video and audio from our 2008 Concert tour of Ireland. Stay tuned for more music.

Dan
