Tomáseen Foley’s A Celtic Christmas
Now in its 29th season, Tomáseen Foley’s A Celtic Christmas returns to Santa Cruz with its Irish musicians, dancers, and native Irish storyteller, Tomáseen Foley. A Celtic Christmas springs from the infinitely rich treasury of Ireland’s cultural heritage: a re-creation of a night before Christmas in the West of Ireland in the 1940s, before the advent of motorcar, the television, and the telephone. This year the tour welcomes acclaimed, world-travelled dancers Joseph Harrison and Lauren Beadle, both veterans of many touring performances including Riverdance, Lord of the Dance, and Feet of Flames.
In this family-friendly recreation of age-old tradition, neighbors bring their fiddles, tin whistles, flutes, bodhráns, uilleann pipes, and most importantly their unshakeable sense of community for a night of traditional music, song, dance, and of course storytelling. The show’s Music Director is Grammy Award-winning guitarist and Santa Cruz resident William Coulter, an internationally recognized master of the steel-string guitar.
