On Saturday evening, beginning at 8 pm, owner Ed Ruiz, Trent River Coffee Company and Simon Spaulding will present a show “with an Irish twist…a kind of San Francisco take on the holiday. In addition to Irish tunes, Simon will play a selection of instruments and tunes, each with its own tradition. While patrons enjoy the music, they can partake with a non-alcoholic version of Irish coffee…of, course!

On Sunday, 2 pm in the NC History Center's Mattocks Hall, the young members of the Eastern Preparatory Youth Orchestra debut with Fire at Tryon, an original work by composer and music educator Wendy Bissinger. The string orchestra (grades 3-6) is
designed to introduce the foundations of orchestral playing and develop good-ensemble-playing, encourage reading skills and technical development.
