Rockport Celtic Festival

Saturday, September 14 :: 7 PM 

From the Ground Up

 Maeve Gilchrist | Madelyn Monaghan | Jeremy Kittel | Hannah Read | Darol Anger | Bruce Molsky 

In tonight’s wonderfully eclectic program, we hear a selection of music that spans the breadth of Celtic and Celtic-adjacent music from its most traditional form to the most cutting edge! We start the evening with the stunning solo Sean Nós voice of Madelyn Monaghan before shifting gears to the rip-roaring virtuosity of fiddle virtuoso Jeremy Kittel and his incredible trio. We’re also thrilled to present US-based Scottish fiddler Hannah Read’s new project “The Fungi Sessions” in which she presents an ecologically-inspired suite of fiddle and banjo music with accompanying visuals to immerse us all in the world of the underground mycelium networks. Rounding the evening off are American music icons Darol Anger and Bruce Molsky bringing together their respective experience in Old Time, jazz and bluegrass music. Prepare to be transported!

The artists will announce the program from the stage.

This concert is made possible by contributing sponsor Stephen Kaloyanides.
