If you’ve always thought of Celtic music as solely Irish, you are in for a surprise as Mystic Chorale’s CELTIC ROOTS concert takes you on a fabulous musical journey through all the Celtic lands, exploring music from throughout the British Isles, into France and Spain, and right home to North America!

150 Mystic singers, led by Mary Cunningham and accompanied by a fabulous Celtic band, present a concert of spirited, uplifting and heartfelt songs – music that touches the world with its wild and soulful strength.  We’ll explore the romance of the Scottish ballad of Wild Mountain Thyme, the heartbreaking story of Isle of Hope Isle of Tears, the amazing resilience of We Rise Again, the rollicking Irish Rocky Road to Dublin and Dulaman, and celebrate the spring like pagans with Cornwall’s Hal an Tow.  We’ll venture on to the western shores of Europe’s coast with the buoyant A Rianxiera from Spain’s Celtic region, Galicia, and finally circle home with well-known American Bluegrass anthem of hope and perseverance, Will the Circle Be Unbroken.

Join us this spring for an unforgettable Mystic Chorale concert!
