They’ve collaborated with renowned folk musicians like Celtic harpist, Maeve Gilchrist, Hardanger Fiddler, Dan Trueman, and Singer-Songwriter, Judy Collins, performed their own programs at various venues and festivals around the country, including Rockport Music, WGBH, WBUR, and Brian O’Donovan’s Rockport Celtic Festival, and teach educational residencies at a variety of institutions, like UMass Dartmouth and the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto.
