Irish Traditions Hidden and Revealed, co-authored by George Boziwick and Trudy Williams, with music-related contributions from Don Meade and Sara Banleigh. The program draws on unique sources from The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts collections to combine live performance with historical and visual commentary that time-travels the history of Irish music from the 18th through the 20th centuries, revealing a rich tradition of tunes that has been a wellspring for American music and composers.

Performance: Irish Traditions Hidden and Revealed was performed in 2011 as part of the Lincoln Center Public Program Series at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts in conjunction with the Library's exhibit IrelandAmerica: The Ties That Bind.
