The concert is being presented by the Blue Ridge Irish Music School (BRIMS) and C-Ville Coffee Stage Café.
Laura's flute playing has been described as "effortless, powerful and engaging."

She has performed throughout North America and in Ireland and just released her second solo recording, Lucky Day, in July 2010.

These workshops will include Irish guitar accompaniment, singing (songs taught will be in English, not in Irish Gaelic), Irish flute, Irish tin whistle, old time fiddle and bodhran (Irish frame drum).
