Dylan Foley and Matt Mancuso
Dylan Foley is one of the most accomplished fiddlers in Irish traditional music today and a four-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion. Hailed by master fiddler Brian Conway as “one of the finest fiddlers of his generation,” Foley is known for his technical brilliance, dynamic style, and deep respect for the tradition.
Matt Mancuso is a talented multi-instrumentalist who plays both fiddle and trumpet. His playing is spirited and exuberant, underpinned by deep technical mastery. Introduced to Irish music by his father, respected guitarist Pete Mancuso, he studied with renowned musician and teacher Maureen Glynn and with Tony De Marco.
Foley and Mancuso have regularly performed together at live events in New York and beyond.
Tickets: $30/$15 youth.
The concert takes place at The Lyceum, 201 S. Washington St., Alexandria, VA. A cash/credit bar will be available.
These events are co-sponsored by the Office of Historic Alexandria and the North American Morris Dance Organization. For more information, visit traditionalmusicseries.org or alexandriava.gov/Lyceum.
Great music in a historic setting—don’t miss it!
