Magical Strings Tacoma Celtic Yuletide Concert

MAGICAL STRINGS IN TACOMA ON FRIDAY, DEC 18 AT 7:30 PM
With Celtic harps, hammered dulcimers, whistles, concertina, strings and more, Philip and Pam Boulding and their five grown children along with granddaughters are joined by the lightning feet of the Raney Irish Dancers. Thomas Arthur entrances all with his lyrical juggling. Soulful Irish songs sung by actress/singer Colleen Raney (another sibling of the Raney clan) will grace the hall, while her brother Mark Raney on vocals, guitar and cittern charms all with his warmth, humor, and poignant songs. Tom Creegan plays in Tacoma and Seattle per tradition with his haunting Uilleann pipes. Also featured is a magical tale from the Celtic tradition, providing a glimpse of another world through story, verse and eurythmy. The audience becomes a key part of the festivities, with members invited to don a costume and follow the processional through the aisles with the musicians, and join in the caroling near evenings end. The hall resounds in glorious harmony as we close singing All Through the Night.
