Ridgefield Playhouse Presents CHRISTMAS WITH THE CELTS, 12/4

Christmas With The Celts brings audiences to their feet with infectious energy, humor, passion, and masterful musicianship on Dec. 4. Performing around the world for 15 years, this ensemble cast of Irish born and Irish-American musicians thrills with a combination of fiery Scottish/Irish traditional instrumental and vocal tunes as well as their own Beatles/American pop-influenced original songs with Celtic instrumentation. Their recent television special, Christmas With The Celts, has aired on more than ninety PBS stations and associated regional networks. The show is coming to The Ridgefield Playhouse on Thursday, December 4, at 8 p.m. Palm Bay International will host a tasting of their wines/spirits in the lobby at 7 p.m.

This uplifting, spirited holiday celebration featuring ancient Irish and Scottish Christmas carols, some never before heard by modern ears, along with traditional Christmas favorites, has got all the holiday trimmings - singers, dancers, and musicians - to make this holiday the most memorable ever. Seeing the Celts live is a moving experience brimming with the infectious energy and passion of the group as well as the incredible musicianship of each band member. A typical concert involves not only fervent, inspired music but also periodic bouts of spirited Irish dancing. A not-to-be-missed holiday event for the whole family to enjoy together! This event is underwritten by Ogham Art.
