  • West Art 800 Buchanan Avenue Lancaster, PA, 17603 United States (map)

Please join for an evenng of Celtic, Appalachian and early music with Celtic Band: The Chivalrous Crickets and some very special guests!


From ancient Britain, where mystical ballads blended with courtly art, to the dark hollows of Appalachia where old melodies and folktales took on the strange lonesome flavor of their new mountain home - the famous ballad Barbara Allen has been a beloved favorite of singers and listeners for five centuries. Join Celtic troupe THE CHIVALROUS CRICKETS for a voyage of passion, betrayal and redemption through the musical voices of Elizabethan court composers, haunting highland ballads, and rollicking American olde time tunes crafted by generations of fiddlers and pipers.
