Celtic Christmas

Utopia celebrates the holidays with music of transporting beauty from the lands of the Celts. The program features songs and instrumentals in a solstice mode from Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, the Isle of Man, and Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Fiddlers, harp, bodhrán and flute join a vocal quartet to span the full range of the season, from festive reels to winter lullabies. Hear songs from Renaissance Scotland, Irish and Welsh carols, and rollicking jigs and reels.
