Don’t miss the performance on our newly rebuilt organ by the wonderful Rhonda Sider Edgington. Following the performance will be an educational program where the audience can interact with the performer and learn more about the organ as an instrument. 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.

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.

Workshops are cumulative and there are only five harps available, so a firm commitment is required. Fee is by donation, suggested $5 per class; at the end of the first class, you’ll have the chance to rent your harp so that you can practice at home.
