The performers recreate the warmth of Foley&#8217;s childhood Christmases in western Ireland with carols, reels, jigs, and stories.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Foley&#8230;is doing what his ancestors have done for years long before The Nutcracker or It&#8217;s a Wonderful Life. He is carrying on an ancient tradition&#8230;for the audiences that pack theaters across the United States every winter to see it,&#8221; wrote the Mail Tribune.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/idealpoetry.com\/rwc\/berkshires-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/Tomaseen-Foley1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/idealpoetry.com\/rwc\/berkshires-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/Tomaseen-Foley-150x1501.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas concert at Clark Art Institute features Tom\u00e1seen Foley from Ireland\" title=\"Christmas concert at Clark Art Institute features Tom\u00e1seen Foley from Ireland\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2832\" \/><\/a>Foley was born on a small farm in the remote parish of Teampall an Ghleannt\u00e1in in the West of Ireland.
