Enter the timeless realm of Celtic Yuletide! Three generations of the
Boulding family set the stage ablaze with the Tara Academy Irish
Dancers, lively fiddling of Jocelyn Pettit (award-winning Canadian
artist who will have recently returned from a European tour and
studies in Scotland), soulful songs with brilliant Dublin guitarist
Colm MacCarthaigh, powerful vocals and singalongs led by Prescott
Breeden, and dynamic percussionist Matt Jerrell. Philip and Pam's
Celtic harp and hammered dulcimer sing mysteries from their most
recent sojourns in Ireland, augmented by cello, violin, whistles,
accordion and concertina. This festive gala of music, dance,
storytelling, juggling, a colorful costumed processional and songs of
the season brings warmth and joy into the heart of winter. 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
Keillors A Prairie Home Companion, and recorded 21 albums on four
labels. Once called the Von Trapps of the Northwest by local media,
their love of music is embraced by their five grown children and six
grandchildren, most of whom return each year to join the family band
for the Yuletide Concerts.
