Northwest Events - Irish Music et al....

Heads Up here's some venue you may want to see.....

Come celebrate the timeless magic of Celtic Yuletide with our Boulding family midst a grand array of Northwest talent. Three generations come together in this brilliant festival of Irish music, dance and storytelling to bring joy and warmth into the heart of winter. 

Order your tickets today!  See the complete schedule below.

Now spanning over three decades, Yuletide comes alive when Tara Academy's award winning Irish Dancers and juggler extraordinaire Thomas Arthur join Magical Strings on stage.  Our virtuoso violinist and daughter Brittany, who has just moved back from NYC will offer a stunning solo.  You'll hear the magnificent Irish flute and vocals of Hanz Araki, be mesmerized by Colleen Raney's sparkling voice and Mark Raney's poignant songs and warm humor. You'll be transported to the Celtic lands with the haunting pipes of Tom Creegan and by the stories and fresh harp and dulcimer music from Philip and Pam's recent journey to Ireland and much more-get inspired, join the procession, and kindle the light of Yuletide!

This coming Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 7 & 8 you can hear Brittany perform as Concertmaster with the Bellevue Philharmonic at the Meydenbauer. It is wonderful having our daughter back in Seattle and seeing her frequently perform with the Seattle Symphony; she is also the new Concertmaster of the Auburn Symphony.

Philip will be in Spokane at Inland Crafts, November 6-8.  For those of you in the Spokane area, come visit the booth and see our gorgeous new harps, and pick up a copy of our newest CD "Best of Magical Strings - Dances and Dreams", a 2-CD set that richly encompasses thirty years of Magical Strings music.
