Admission by donation.

The program, “Modern Music For A Modern Age,” explores the last century of organ music, proving that there is much more to this instrument than people might imagine.

Then we will come together for community music making (or listening) during the 6:30 workshop.The Campfire Songs workshop at 6:30p is open to all — singers, dancers, puppeteers, whistlers, drummers, listeners, etc. Find out more information by clicking HERE

Castlebay has been musically weaving together the heritage of New England and the Celtic lands since 1987. Members Julia Lane and Fred Gosbee have loved and researched traditional music for most of their lives and blend history, legend and experience into their personable performance style. Their concerts feature poignant ballads sung in Lane’s ethereal soprano and Gosbee’s rich baritone interspersed with joyous dance tunes played on Celtic harp, guitar, fiddle and tin whistle. Castlebay treats the audience to a musical journey through time and across the Atlantic.
