We still have a few seats available for today's CELTIC YULETIDE performance by the Magical Stings. Box office opens at 1:00pm,
Three generations of the Boulding family will set the stage ablaze with the Tara Academy Irish Dancers, lively fiddling of Jocelyn Pettit, soulful songs of Colleen Raney with brilliant Dublin guitarist Colm MacCarthaigh and dynamic percussionist Matt Jerrell. Philip and Pam’s Celtic harp and hammered dulcimer will sing mysteries from their recent sojourn in Ireland, augmented by cello, violin, whistles, accordion and concertina. This festive gala of music, dance, storytelling, juggling, and songs of the season brings warmth and joy into the heart of winter. Don’t miss it!
About Magical Strings:
Philip and Pam Boulding founded Magical Strings in 1978, the same year they began the Celtic Yuletide Concerts with their family. They have performed throughout the U.S., Canada, Ireland and Japan, toured and recorded with Dan Fogelberg, appeared on Garrison Keillor’s “A Prairie Home Companion,” and recorded 20 albums on four labels. Often called the “Von Trapps of the Northwest” by local media, their love of music is embraced by their five grown children, and six grandchildren, who return each year to join the band for the final weekend of Yuletide Concerts.
For many in the Northwest, it wouldn’t be the holidays without the harps, dulcimers, and energetic Celtic sounds of acclaimed family ensemble Magical Strings. The tradition continues this year, as Magical Strings announces its 36th triumphant year of annual Celtic Yuletide Concerts taking place throughout Puget Sound in December 2014!
