For the annual Celtic Concert, the ISO put on a program titled "Songs of Erin". Several guests appeared with the ensemble that evening.

First, our guest conductor was Jeff Christmas who is also quite a composer in his own right. In fact, several of the pieces performed were arranged by him.

Also performing were Paul Stevens on trumpet, Aaron MacDonald on various traditional wind instruments, and Dean Harrions on piano and accordian.

The duo Sirens (Donna Creighton & Jo-Ann Lawton) performed several traditional melodies and even sang in Gaelic.

We also had Nora Corrigan stepdancing at the front of the stage for a few numbers. Nora previously performed with Riverdance as the lead dancer.

And of course, we can't forget the pipes and drums...

It was a great show. I enjoyed the music as much as I enjoyed capturing the photos.
