Academy Center of the Arts

Join Champion Scottish fiddler Seán Heely and a cast of nationally-acclaimed Celtic performers on a magical journey through Scotland and Ireland during the holidays. The fiddle and bagpipes will sweep you away to Christmastime and Winter Solstice celebrations along with percussive dance and Highland dance that will lift your holiday spirits and warm your heart. Kilts and tartan abound as the show travels through ancient Gaelic carols and songs, tucked in perfectly with lively Irish tunes and familiar Christmas melodies with a Celtic twist. Heely is a DC-based US National Scottish Fiddle Champion, award-winning Irish fiddler, Scots Gaelic Singer, and harpist.
