The OCEAN Celtic Quartet will transport you to the Yuletide celebrations of yore in a program featuring traditional carols, foot-stomping Celtic fiddle tunes, 19th century broadside songs, original seasonal compositions, and even an appearance by Father Christmas of the old mummers plays! With their soaring vocals and high-energy Celtic instrumentals, OCEAN is known for marrying lighthearted exuberance with great spiritual depth in a program that appeals to all faiths and wisdom traditions. Come in good voice, as you’ll be invited to sing along!

OCEAN is led by composer and ethnomusicologist Jennifer Cutting, a Washington Area Music Association Musician of the Year and Songwriter of the Year, and features the luminous vocalist Christine Noyes, folklorist/vocalist/percussionist Stephen Winick, and U.S. National Scottish Fiddle champion Seán Heely.

OCEAN will offer two sets, including a short intermission and light refreshments. Children most welcome.
