The European Union, in partnership with the Hirshhorn Museum, invites you to a one-of-a-kind after-hours experience: State of the Arts Night. Join artists from across Europe and the United States for an evening of collaborative performances, interactive projects, and thought-provoking conversations.
The evening will demonstrate what can be accomplished when Europeans and Americans work together, hand in hand. European-style foods and products will be available for purchase at our European Market, in addition to wine and beer in our lounge. The evening will end with an electro-house music dance party.
Solas Nua and The Embassy of Ireland have partnered to present Conor Malone as a part of this event! To uplift the spirit of EU and US collaborations, Conor will be joined by Justin Jordan from New York performing traditional songs and originals and also some original poetry.
Conor Malone was born in County Clare in the west of Ireland, and grew up in a musical family rich in the Irish language and tradition. After an education at Rice College, Conor moved to Dublin to advance his musical career. Now based in Washington, D.C., he has toured across Ireland, England, and France, and has played in the U.S. at the Kennedy Center, SXSW, Burning Man, and more. He even had a musical cameo in the awarded and beloved Irish film The Commitments.
