Please bear in mind that Reynolds Auditorium is a historic venue; there is no elevator\, thus the Mezzanine and Balcony levels are only accessed via stairs. Accessible seating is available on the Orchestra level at the rear of the house and along the outside left and right.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAoife O’Donovan\n\n\n\nAoife O’Donovan is a Grammy-award winning singer\, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose music radiates with a timeless charm and contemporary allure beyond genre.

She gained widespread recognition as a founding member of the progressive folk band Crooked Still and the folk trio I’m With Her (with bandmates Sara Watkins and Sarah Jarosz).  \n\n\n\n\n\n+Read more.\n\n\n\n\nDeemed “a vocalist of unerring instinct” by the New York Times\, O’Donovan has released four critically-acclaimed and boundary-blurring solo albums: Fossils\, In the Magic Hour\, Age Of Apathy\, and All My Friends.
