Let Magical Strings take you on a Mother’s Day journey to Ireland, Hawaii, Magic Hill and to places of the heart.<\/p>\n

With harps, dulcimers, concertina, button accordion, whistles, guitar and more the group will be performing right in its living room and sharing music and stories directly with you from 3 to 4 p.m. Sunday, May 10 on Facebook. Make yourself a cup of tea or a drink of your choice, sit back and enjoy.<\/p>\n

During this time when many musicians and arts organizations are suffering due to the necessities of social distancing – indeed, many of our concerts, festivals and east coast spring tour had to be cancelled – we are grateful that with the magic of live-streaming we can perform for you, wherever you are, the group said in a press release.<\/p>\n

Enjoy, start a watch party, share with your family and friends and in the comments let us know from where you are watching. It’s free, but donations are graciously appreciated at Paypal.me\/magicalstrings or at Venmo.com\/Magic-Hill.<\/p>\n
