For one night only, Uptown! Is turning its jazz cabaret space into a pub. Audiences of all ages can enjoy the show named one of the "Top 20 Celtic Bands" by the Celtic and Irish music podcast. Cormorant's Fancy is the Folkemer clan - Margaret, Beth, Stephen, Allyson, and Joel joined by Ryan Kozak and Rickey Czar. With heritage in Ireland's County Down, Scotland, and Wales, Cormorant's Fancy propels audiences into the stirring music that is the Celtic tradition.
With Celtic music in their blood, Cormorant's Fancy uses traditional instruments and arrangements. Their compelling cross-generational lineup unites the past, present and future, and their music rings true leading them to be described as both "spellbinding" and "energetic." This will be an event for all-ages.
Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir by Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes was produced by the United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland. Born in Limerick, Frank McCourt defines what it means to overcome what has been delivered to you in the lottery of life, and we celebrate with him as he finally arrives as an adult in America to pursue his dream of becoming a writer. Directed by Alan Parker, and starring Emily Watson, Robert Carlyle and Joe Breen, the film offers a stunning soundtrack composed and conducted by John Williams, and features songs by Billie Holiday and Sinéad O'Connor.
Tickets to Cormorant's Fancy are $22 in advance and $25 at the door. Tickets to Angela's Ashes are $5.
