An evening of Welsh Folk music with America's premier Welsh-American Band, Moch Pryderi. Moch Pryderi (Welsh for “Pryderi’s Pigs”) is a six piece Welsh-American band firmly rooted in the traditional Celtic music of Wales and Brittany, interwoven with traditional music from Ireland, Scotland, Turkey, and the American-Appalachians. The band has performed widely on the east coast, including the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C., The Celtic Classic in Bethlahem Pa., the Philadelphia Folk Festival, the Washington Folk Festival, the Potomac Celtic Festival, the Fredericksburg Welsh Festival, the Philadelphia Welsh Festival, as well as the Historic Rugby Tennessee Festival of British & Appalachian Culture, the Celtic Nations Heritage Festival in Lake Charles Louisiana, and the Welsh Heritage Center in Wymore Nebraska. The band's instrumentation includes the rare Welsh triple harp and Welsh pibgorn, as well as small and great pipes, Breton bombard, Celtic bouzouki, mandolin, banjo, flutes, whistles and percussion. Moch Pryderi's vocal abilities create a diversified pallet for Moch’s distinctive and haunting sound.
