Celtic concert evokes audience participation

Written By Christie Browning

Celtic Landscapes was a magical, mystical, musical event. This original Heartland Sings production combined beautiful harmonies and the drones of bagpipes to transport audiences to the Emerald Isle in the stunning Forum at Electric Works. Patrons enjoyed a variety of vocal music selections with traditional instruments of Celtic heritage that took us all on a journey to that mystical, nostalgic place in our hearts and minds evoked by the Celtic tradition. Familiar folk tunes, ballads, and drinking songs got audiences singing along! It was a Celtic celebration we won’t forget!
