Celtic Celebration: Altan

(Past) Thu, Mar 11 at 8 pm Peter Jay Sharp Theatre $25; Members, Children $21; Students $18

Altan, which has revitalized the Irish music scene both here and abroad, is now celebrating its 25th anniversary.  Renowned for its dynamic twin fiddling and haunting renditions of old Gaelic songs in the sean nos  (unaccompanied style), Altan specializes in tunes in the powerful Donegal style that is marked by a strong Scottish influence. This supergroup features Mairead Ni Mhaonaigh, who has been acclaimed for her glorious vocals; Ciaran Tourish, Dermot Byrne, Daithi Sproule, and Ciran Curran.
