D.C.-based, award-winning Celtic fiddler, Gaelic singer, and harpist Seán Heely returns for a magical winter tour through the Scottish Highlands and across the rugged Irish coast.

The fiddle and bagpipes will sweep you away to Christmastime and Winter Solstice celebrations that are sure to lift your holiday spirits and warm your heart. A musical ambassador for Scottish music and culture, Heely won the Dan R. MacDonald Memorial Prize from the Gaelic Performing Arts’ Clan Donald Lands Trust in April 2023. Audiences are invited to bask in the warmth of the holidays in this jubilant evening of music-making.
