Tomaseen Foley's A Celtic Christmas

Rekindle the flame in the hearth with stories, music, song and dance from the rich treasury of Ireland’s cultural heritage. Spend an evening with native Irish storyteller Tomáseen Foley and some of the most gifted Celtic musicians, dancers and singers performing anywhere today, both sides of the Atlantic.

“When I was a child, it was around the fireplace of my neighbors’ thatched cottage

that I experienced the last remnants of the old communal way of life. The family

was the center of the community then, and the community was the center of life

itself; the shining axle around which the great wheel of the universe revolved.

Stories, music, song and dance were the spokes of that slowly turning wheel.”

-TOMÁSEEN FOLEY

Storytelling was once the most admired of all the Celtic arts, and A Celtic Christmas is

unique in that it has storytelling at its center. Anchored round that center revolve the

more immediately recognizable traditional Celtic arts of music, song and dance.
