The Center for the Arts is pleased to present Christmas with The Celts in the Marisa Funk Theater on December 15, 2024.
The Celts are Dubliner Patrick D’Arcy (U2, Sting, Josh Groban) and Fiachra O’Regan from Connemara, Ireland, on uilleann pipes/whistles/bodhran, Maggie Lander and Luisa Marion on vocals and fiddle, Matt Menefee (Mumford & Sons) banjo, mandolin, vocals, and Nashville songwriter, producer, and band leader Ric Blair on vocals, guitar, bodhrán, and piano.
The Celts combine tight vocal harmonies with energetic, fiery Irish trad breaks and original songs. The Celts are known for incorporating all things Irish into unlimited genres. From retro disco dance to roots country, jazz, and rock with no restrictions to their creative freedom.
Sean Laffey from Irish Music Magazine says “The Celts weave hundreds of years of heritage into their music, which is at once timeless and equally up to the minute. Their songs are as carefully crafted as heirloom furniture, their music will be cherished way into the future.”
Currently celebrating 14 years of successful national touring, Christmas with the Celts perform a wonderful combination of timeless ancient Irish Christmas Carols and lively Irish dance with modern contemporary songs but with Irish instrumentation. New Christmas hits, Celts originals, and fresh Irish Dance tunes are added to the show each year so that no two years are the same.
Embrace the holiday cheer this December and bring the whole family to Christmas with the Celts at The Center for the Arts.
