Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with a concert at the St. Charles Public Library

Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Irish baritone Gavin Coyle, flutist Carlyn Lloyd, and pianist Jon Warfel at the St. Charles Public Library on Sunday, March 3.

This performance of the library’s Sunday Concert Series at 2 p.m. will feature folk and traditional music from the homeland that will take you back to the “Old Sod!

Vocalist Coyle was born in Derry, Northern Ireland. At age 14, he won the title of All-Ireland Singing Champion. He has also performed on the BBC both in Northern Ireland and in England.

Locally, he's been featured on WGN radio, performed at Milwaukee Irish Fest, and performed the national anthem several times at Wrigley Field, Soldier Field, and the United Center.

For nearly 40 years, the duo of Lloyd and Warfel has performed over 750 concerts and educational programs throughout the United States. In addition, the duo has been heard in performances on radio and television programs.

Lloyd performs regularly with many ensembles, including Arianna, an ensemble comprised of flute, harp, violin, and string bass. She has written arrangements of popular and classical music for her woodwind quintet, Quintuplex. She owns Tri-L-Co Music, a company that engages classical chamber music ensembles.

Warfel maintains an active performing schedule as both piano soloist and accompanist. He has toured the United States as a piano soloist and has performed piano concertos with several Illinois orchestras. Warfel is a retired faculty member of Waubonsee Community College in Sugar Grove. He has appeared as a guest soloist with the Chicago Grant Park Orchestra and other local orchestras.

This event is part of the Library’s Sunday Concert Series, featuring a wide variety of live musical performances. The public is welcome and the concert is free to attend.
