Exploring Irish music with Dr. Matthew Horsley

Dr. Matthew Horsley explores the ethnomusicology of Irish music as well as discuses his own journey into learning traditional Irish instruments. Currently (2019 onward) playing in the Australian production of Come From Away, Matthew also talks about how the orchestrations (by August Eriksmoen) allowed him to perform the musical with an idiomatic feel.
