Winter sweetness and surprise are in the air as our holiday season officially gets underway with A Celtic Christmas, a happy homecoming with old friends bringing together the evocative sounds of the Celtic harp, lute, pipes, bodhran, flutes, and recorders. The Barnes and Hampton Celtic Consort has brought A Celtic Christmas to Dumbarton for 27 years, but in fact Linn Barnes and Allison Hampton have made music in the church since the Dumbarton Concerts began over 40 years ago. At the heart our Celtic Christmas once again is the poetry of Dylan Thomas with his timeless prose poem A Child's Christmas in Wales narrated by the inimitable Robert Aubry Davis. Thomas' Christmas memories are primal, universal, touching.

About Barnes and Hampton Celtic Consort

With a repertoire that includes music from Medieval and Renaissance Europe, the living and persistently growing body of Celtic music, traditional European and American folk music, their own compositions, and informative introductions and explanations, the result is rare and uniquely beautiful.
