Celtic Nights Coming to Van Wezel, 4/12
By: Tyler Peterson
Celtic Nights, a multitalented cast featuring singers, dancers, musicians and actors, makes its Sarasota debut with Spirit of Freedom at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall on Tuesday, April 12th at 8:00pm. The Irish embrace their musical culture in a stand-alone and expressive manner, and it's this natural affinity with music and song that has given Celtic people a truly sought-after global voice. Every thundering dance tune and melody is a separate thread in the extensive and colorful tapestry of Celtic music. Celtic Nights combines these classic Irish styles and motifs with a thought-provoking storyline for the definitive Celtic music and dance experience.
Spirit of Freedom tells the story of Irish independence, beginning 100 years ago with the Easter Rising of 1916, which essentially created the Ireland of today. Through music, song, dance and storytelling, Celtic Nights honors the struggle of people fighting to gain freedom, independence and true democracy. Don't miss out on a musical journey of passion and sheer determination with Spirit of Freedom!
Tickets are $15-$55 and are available at VanWezel.org, the Box Office, or by calling 941-953-3368.
