A Christmas Celtic Sojourn December 11, 2008

A Christmas Celtic Sojourn with Brian O’Donovan is the perfect way to celebrate the holidays with the entire family. Featuring traditional music, dance, poetry and storytelling, the show brings the feeling of Christmas to life. The show features performances by some of the foremost Celtic performers who, through their performances, invite you in to experience the holidays together.

This year, Brian O’Donovan welcomes Irish super group Solas, led by Seamus Egan. Since its birth in 1996, Solas has been loudly proclaimed as the most popular, influential, and exciting Celtic band to ever emerge from the United States. Solas will be joined by Galway Singer Sean Keane who is making a rare New England appearance in A Christmas Celtic Sojourn. Cara Dillon, one of the fastest rising stars in Irish traditional music, will be joined by pianist Sam Lakeman.

Dance director, Kieran Jordan is planning again what has become one of the most anticipated aspects of the show, its spectacular Irish dancing.
