Celtic Performing Arts Presents:
CELTFEST SUNSET & STARS GALA |
 |
The Celtic cultures merge spectacularly in this CeltFest 2009 Vancouver Island finale, an exciting showcase of
world-renowned Celtic musical artists from east to west in Canada and around the world.
Among them are Champion fiddlers, dancers, pipers,
drummers, Juno Award winners--over 30 instructors teaching and performing at the CeltFest 2009 international summer school & concert series at Vancouver Island University during the week.
Usually sold out, this crowd-pleaser-- which has been widely acknowledged as the best Celtic variety show in the west--- it's not to be missed!
"The old country can be proud that its fine Celtic traditions
have been passed on to such a deserving lot. 10 tartans and shamrocks out of 10"
Peter Rusland, Cowichan News Leader
