Karen performs and teaches around the U.S. on hammered dulcimer and penny whistle. She has been on staff at the Catskills Irish Arts Week, Milwaukee Irish Fest Summer School, Augusta Heritage Irish Week, and with our local CCÉ MAD Week. She coached a dulcimer student to two All-Ireland First Place Awards in two different age groups.
