RING OF KERRY - Central Square Concert Series, April 29th
St. Cloud area group to perform Celtic music and dance at Central Square.
RING OF KERRY
Saturday, April 29, 2017 • 7:30 p.m.
Ring of Kerry is a bursting-with-energy Irish music group that captures the hearts of listeners. The group takes its name from a beautiful craggy drive in southwestern County Kerry, Ireland. Its Celtic music, however, is played with a heart much closer to its American home.
All five of its engaging musicians sing and play several instruments. From the thundering sound of the bodhran to the sparkle of the hammered dulcimer; from the lilt and rhythm of fiddle and guitar to the haunting wails of the flute and pennywhistles, the band has developed a blend that is animated, ruggedly beautiful and fun. A troupe of Celtic dancers is schedule to perform with this group of amazing instruments. Audiences always react with great enthusiasm to Ring of Kerry!
Tickets $25 advance/ $30 available at our website centralsquare.org or call 320.634.0400.
