Irish singer to appear at GC Historical Society

Mary O’Dowd, who has graced the stages of Carnegie Hall, New York’s Town Hall, Westbury Music Fair and Joseph Papp’s Public Theater, as well as clubs in Ireland and America, returns to the Historical Society on March 12 at 3 p.m. with “The Sounds & Songs of Ireland for a Sunday Afternoon.”

Accompanied by musicians Ron D’Addario and Bob Mastro, Mary O’Dowd will sing rousing ballads and sentimental tunes - to bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye and to take you back to the old country, even if there isn’t a drop of Irish blood in you.

Tickets are $40 and must be purchased in advance, since there is limited seating. Light refreshments will be served after the performance.

Purchase tickets at The A.T. Stewart Exchange shop at the rear of The Garden City Historical Society Museum, Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.– 4 pm/Saturday, 12–4 p.m., or call 516.746.8900.

All proceeds from “The Sounds and Songs of Ireland for a Sunday Afternoon” contribute to the ongoing restoration of the society’s 1872 Apostle House Museum, being accomplished with the magnanimous support of Vinny Muldoon’s Old World Quality Corp., as well as the educational and other cultural programs.
