Sound of the Celtic Soul

Join us for a beautiful celebration of Celtic song, music, dance, and spirituality!

A troupe of Irish dancers will kick off our evening with a joy-filled performance as attendees enjoy hors d'oeuvres generously provided by Parties by Panache.

Then the music of Deirdre ni Chinnéide will soothe the soul as we enter into the spirit of this adventurous time of change. This is a musical journey like no other,  filling the listener with a calm feeling of hope, the richness of possibility, and a taste of the magic of Ireland.
