About the event
Celebrated vocalist Deirdre Ní Chinnéide will connect us to the power of Celtic spirituality with an evening of Irish music, song, and poetry. This experience is intended to stir and open our hearts as we near Holy Week. Accompanied by harpist Dennis Doyle and pianist Jannette Carothers, Deirdre will perform songs from her albums “Celtic Passage” and “I Will Sing for You,” as well as familiar Irish tunes, all linking to Celtic spirituality.
This is Deirdre’s third visit to Orange County, and tickets are limited – so don’t delay. The concert is a great way to help set the tone of the Lenten retreat Deirdre is offering the following week, March 23. You are invited to join us for light refreshments from 6-6:45 pm; the concert begins at 7 pm.
We gratefully acknowledge Parties by Panache, who generously provide the appetizers.
