VISIONS FROM CAPE BRETON AND BEYOND: A CELTIC FAMILY CELEBRATION AT VITERBO UNIVERSITY NOV. 17

LA CROSSE, Wis. – Enjoy an evening of world-class music featuring the unique talents, influences, and stories of the first family of traditional fiddle players with Visions from Cape Breton and Beyond: A Celtic Family Celebration at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17 in the Viterbo University Fine Arts Center Main Theatre.

Visions from Cape Breton and Beyond: A Celtic Family Celebration features acclaimed husband and wife musicians Donnell Leahy and Natalie MacMaster, their children, and dancers and singers in the tradition of their hometowns of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and Lakefield, Ontario.

“To call Natalie MacMaster the most dynamic performer in Celtic music today is high praise, but it still doesn’t get at how remarkable a concert artist this Cape Breton Island fiddler has become,” wrote a reviewer in the Boston Herald.

This performance is part of Viterbo’s Bright Star Season and is sponsored by US Bank and in part by a grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts. Soft Rock 101.1 FM KHME is the media sponsor.

Tickets are $38 for main floor, $34 for lower balcony, and $28 for upper balcony seating. For more information or to order tickets, contact the Viterbo box office at 608-796-3100 or visit www.viterbo.edu/tickets.
