Celtic Concert and Tea, Sunday, December 28

I know this is a busy week, but picture yourself NEXT weekend, after the eggnog is all gone and everyone is still hanging around the house going stir crazy. It's Sunday, December 28. Just an empty, gray day. But wait!

You can cheer up everyone--young, old, and all others--with a festive afternoon at the Richland Area Community Center, where Erica Holcomb will be playing Celtic harp and singing songs both traditional and original. And, after the concert, there will be a fabulous, festive tea, including little sandwiches, scones, and pastries, served by Tudor House Tea. Tickets for the whole event cost $15 and benefit the Performing Arts Foundation. Yes, us! No, not us personally, but all the great arts education projects we support.

Erica graduated from Gull Lake High School in 2005, studied traditional music in Appalachia, and then moved to Edinburgh, Scotland, where she's continuing her studies. She is best known for her skills on the clarsach, or Scottish harp, but she also plays mandolin and guitar. The event celebrates the release of her new CD, Birds, Ghosts and Lifeboats, which will be available for sale at the concert, along with her previous CD, Eightsongs.

It all happens at 2 p.m., Sunday, December 28, 2008, at the Richland Area Community Center, 9400 East CD Avenue in Richland. See you there!
