Celebrate the season and the cycles of life with uplifting, lively, and meditative Celtic songs and tunes, performed by the four master musicians of Celtic Twilight. Ancient melodies meet fresh arrangements to create an unforgettable evening, from sprightly jigs and driving reels to heartwarming carols. Join us for festive musical revelries on a  winter night.

Eileen Estes, the daughter of Nita Conley (Korn), an influential force in the East Coast Celtic movement of the 1970s, is known as both a tradition bearer and an innovator within the genre.

Andrea Hoag, a Grammy nominee and two-time recipient of the Maryland Individual Artist Award, has graced stages with her inventive and sensitive fiddling for nearly fifty years. 

Karen Ashbrook is a pioneering performer of the hammered dulcimer and a certified therapeutic musician; wooden Irish flute and pennywhistle round out her lively stage presence.

Paul Oorts, Belgian multi-instrumentalist, is in demand as a 24/7 performer now that he’s retired from teaching languages at Loyola University. As KA/PO,  Karen and Paul perform internationally and domestically.
