Tenement Concert: Mind Yourself – A Musical Wake for Mick Moloney

Enjoy an intimate, musical celebration of the life and work of Dr. Michael “Mick” Moloney with some of his closest collaborators and friends. Moloney was a performer, folklorist, and historian of Irish American music whose work, among many other firsts, helped explore the connections between Irish and African American music and cultural traditions. Dr. Miriam Nyhan Grey will be in discussion with Lenwood Sloan, a longtime friend and partner of Moloney’s on Irish and African American traditions.

Throughout this Tenement Concert, broadcasted live from our recreated 1860s tenement parlor, four musicians join for an evening of memory, song, and stories that honor Moloney’s passion for the connections between people and cultures.
