St Louis Irish Arts Inc. joined "Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann" in 1973. At that time, there were very few first generation Irish living in St. Louis. Because there were so few first generation Irish here, the Midwest was poorly served with traditional Irish music. Few concerts came west of the Mississippi. The Gannon family had arrived in St. Louis in 1967, but it was the Boyer family here in St. Louis along with Mr. Bill McEvoy in New York that initiated the Comhaltas branch here in St. Louis.
We celebrate the 338th birthday of JS Bach with music for organ performed by Director of Music Ministries Bill Stein on the Ott tracker organ.
