The Metropolitan Chorale, under the direction of Lisa Graham, will perform with Fellswater, Boston’s dynamic Celtic Music Ensemble on Saturday, March 18th at 7:30pm at the JFK Presidential Library and Museum in Boston in an exciting collaboration celebrating Boston’s deep Irish roots and history of immigration to the Bay State. The event, titled Celtic Crossroads, will be a rousing, rollicking celebration of music from Irish and Celtic traditions featuring arrangements of favorites such as Danny Boy, Dulaman, Wild Mountain Thyme, and Bo na Leathadhairce, as well as works by Stephen Hatfield and Arvo Pärt. The program will also feature Fellswater’s own repertoire with instrumentation including vocals, whistles, Irish flute, guitar, octave mandolin, banjo, violin, cello, Celtic harp, piano accordion, Scottish smallpipes, and percussion.

The Metropolitan Chorale is a 100-voice auditioned chorus, and one of Boston’s premier vocal ensembles. The Chorale is a vibrant community of musicians drawn together by a commitment to performing stellar repertoire at high standards, while fostering a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Fellswater is a dynamic 7 piece Celtic music ensemble based out of Boston playing a wide range of music from traditional to modern compositions, drawing from the music of Scotland, Ireland, Galicia, Canada and beyond.  Fellswater has delighted audiences at the New Hampshire Highland Games, Blackstone River Theatre, Boston Celtic Music Fest, The Burren Backroom Series, Club Passim and Colonial Williamsburg. The band was featured at the 2015 Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, playing for 8,000 nightly.
