Altan Concert (Harvard Square)

I just came back from a concert at Harvard in the Sanders Theatre. The theatre is incredible. Here is a picture. The theatre is located inside the Memorial Hall. When I visited Harvard with Sarah, Kalil and Adele we were not able to go in the theatre. Without a doubt, I'd pay half of what I've paid to hear Altan (around $20) just to see this theatre. The picture on the left is nice because it shows also the location I was sitting. I was on the aisle, two rows in front of the column on the left hand side of the picture. 

The concert was okay. Not amazing because honestly speaking, Irish music sound the same to me after 3 or so songs. I sometimes think they are tricking us and playing the same song again and again. They might be actually, not many people would notice! I went to the concert because Altan plays Irish music from Co. Donegal, and we lived in Co. Donegal, more specifically in Buncrana. So it was nice to remember that year we spent in Ireland. But the most important reason for me to go was that I had nothing better to do; the Jazz season has not yet started here in Boston. 
If you like Irish music and can actually hear it again and again without getting bored, Altan is a nice option. For Irish music they are pretty good. (lol).
