On Wednesday, March 10th, start the evening with dinner for two at UMass' University Club, which will be featuring a "Taste of Ireland."

The University Club's Irish chef will start the evening with some truly delicious Irish fare. Choose from (1) Baked Cod with Irish Cheese Crust, (2) Lamb Stew with Puff Pastry Crust or (3) the vegetarian option of Gaelic Boxty (Potato casserole w/sautéed leeks, mushrooms and Pub cheese.) Dinner includes rolls, salad, entrée w/appropriate sides, dessert, coffee/tea.

Then head on over to the UMass Fine Arts Center's Concert Hall for The Chieftains performance .

The Chieftains are the heart and soul of traditional Irish music. They have collaborated with the giants of the entertainment world and won six Grammy Awards, but the essence of The Chieftains can be found in the first tiny wail of Paddy Moloney’s tin whistle or the gentle lilt of Kevin Conneff’s classic Irish tenor voice, or those priceless—and frequent—moments when, in perfect sync, the band peels off a reel at breakneck speed.

Dinner seating begins at 5:00 pm. The performance begins at 7:30pm.
