Celtic Christmas II, with Celtica and Clarkson School of Dance - A Great Rivers Choral Society Concert

First United Methodist Church — 1100 Airport Rd., Godfrey, IL

Saturday, December 6, 2014 (7:30 P.M.), Sunday, December 7, 2014 (3:00 P.M.)

A Celtic Christmas Concert will rekindle the flame in the hearth with music and song from the infinitely rich treasury of Ireland's cultural heritage. Imagine a wintry day in the Christmas season, where Irish and Scottish musicians regale locals and travelers alike with their playing. Caroling from the choir mixes with the instrumental riffs of the traditional musicians, and the warmth from their collaboration literally chases the cold winter away. This concert will bring together the worlds of classical and Celtic music. We have drawn inspiration from so many including composer/song collectors Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst, and Alan Stivell. This concert will be free to the public.
