An International Musical Journey: Trip to Ireland 6:30 p.m. Monday, June 18 Join us for an evening of Irish music and discussion. Travis Hicks will play Irish Traditional Music, including jigs, reels, hornpipes, and slow airs, on traditional hand-crafted instruments. With 18 years' experience on the Irish whistles and bagpipes, Hicks will play tunes and demonstrate the nuances of the Irish pipes, tin whistle, and anglo concertina in the Irish tradition. A question and answer session will follow this musical demonstration. Hicks is an assistant professor of interior architecture at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and director of the Center for Community-Engaged Design. His appearance is sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
Famous and Infamous Women of North Carolina 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 10
A woman disguised as a Civil War soldier. A couple of famous pirates. A daredevil aeronaut. An internationally famous sharpshooter. And a first lady who “really, really, really” liked being married to the governor. “Famous and Infamous Women of North Carolina,” presented by award-winning author and storyteller Randell Jones, is a lighthearted look at some serious history — the roles and accomplishments of a few notable women, among so many — in whom we can all take pride as being part of the fabric which makes North Carolina so special. Jones is author of In the Footsteps of Daniel Boone and Scoundrels, Rogues, among other books. He received the History Award Medal from the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution.
