A Celtic Christmas
with the Barra MacNeils

Saturday December 10, 2011

The Barra MacNeils live concert brings so much more to the stage than most live acts ever can. Multiple lead vocalists, beautiful sibling harmonies, top drawer instrumental prowess on a wide variety of acoustic, stringed, percussion and wind instruments blended with dancing, storytelling, Gaelic songs and a journey through an ancient culture; it is family entertainment at its highest level.

Natalie Choquette is a soprano like no other. Her magnificent voice brilliantly blends opera, humour, laughter, and emotion. In 1993 she decided to infuse her opera singing with her tremendous sense of humour. She is an artist of international stature, praised and applauded by audiences around the world. She has made opera accessible to the masses. A fun concert not to be missed.
