Andy Kruspe, an Alabama-based bodhran player who has performed and recorded throughout the Southeast, will give a presentation focusing on the bodhran and Celtic music traditions for WCU music students at 11 a.m. in the band room of the Coulter Building. The public is welcome to sit in on that presentation.

Kruspe will also present a workshop about the instrument at 7 p.m. at the Mountain Heritage Center. The event will provide opportunities for those attending to try their hand at playing the instrument.

In addition to performing on the bodhran in several genres of music, including traditional Irish, Celtic, old-time and contra dance, Kruspe is a teacher and has presented workshops at numerous colleges, clinics and festivals.

The presentations are both free. They are sponsored by the Mountain Heritage Center and School of Music.
