Celtic Festival XII: Harmonies of Heath and Hills

Featuring Strings of Brigid and Michael Collins Pipes and Drums Cherry Creek Chorale proudly presents the premiere of a newly created Celtic concert experience by local composer and arranger Chappell Kingsland. Celtic Festival XII: Harmonies of Heath and Hills draws from the folk traditions of Ireland, Scotland, and England, pairing favorites such as Danny Boy, Skye Boat Song, Dúlamán, and Wild Mountain Thyme with contemporary works by Enya, Dougie MacLean, Kate Rusby, and the creators of Riverdance. Guest ensemble Strings of Brigid brings the vibrant sounds of fiddle, Celtic harp, whistle, guitar, cello, and bodhrán, while Michael Collins Pipes and Drums adds thrilling pageantry and grandeur. With intimate ballads, fiery instrumentals, and irresistible dance rhythms, this ambitious new program will carry audiences from the hush of an ancient song to the full, exhilarating joy of chorus, fiddle, pipes, and drums.
