Collection of audio recordings of the 1992 Boston College Celtic Harp Festival, co-sponsored by the Boston College Music Department and Irish Studies Program. Recordings consist of a keynote lecture and a panel discussion, as well as concert performances with musicians including Derek Bell, the Boston College Chamber Orchestra, Ann and Charlie Heymann, Máire Ní Chathasaigh, and the four-harp ensemble, Triantán, from University College, Cork, Ireland. Festival promotional materials--a poster, press release, schedule of events, and flier for an Irish harp exhibit at Burns Library--are also present.

Additionally, there is an original manuscript and annotated copies of sheet music for a suite for Irish harp and string orchestra. The work, "Three Pictures from Ancient Ireland in Druid Times," was written by Derek Bell and dedicated to Professor Anne Dhu Shapiro of the Boston College Music Department. Bell and the Boston College Chamber Orchestra performed the piece at the Celtic Harp Festival on April 5, 1992.
