We don’t call them the “Next Generation” for
nothing! Two dozen talented young musicians and stepdancers, ages
7 to 17, wowed a packed house at the Garden State Discovery Museum
in Cherry Hill, NJ for the 4th Annual Children’s Irish-American Weekend
on January 6 and 7, 2001. The musicians who coordinate this event are Kathy DeAngelo,
Dennis Gormley and Chris Brennan-Hagy, who draw on talents of those players
who frequent their
monthly
young musicians session.
This event is now a first weekend of January “tradition”, so mark your calendars for this year’s extravaganza! Here are just a few of the visual highlights from the 2001 show. 2006 show is Sunday January 8 |

| Dear Kathy, Dennis and Chris:
Well, the 4th Annual was just as terrific as ever. Thank you all so much for the hard work, the enthusiasm and the talent to bring this all together. Kathy, I will always be glad that I called you four years ago to bring over a few harp students; Multi-Cultural Month has never been the same Your event sets a standard that serves as the benchmark for the rest of the program this month. I look forward to our 5th anniversary year; we'll have to do something special. Yours truly,
