📣 Time for a lineup announcement! This summer Celtfest is proud to present Ailíse!

☘️ Born in Ireland and now based in upstate New York, AILÍSE (pronounced eye-leash) is a multi-instrumentalist from the west coast of Ireland whose practice honours the Irish tradition while also drawing inspiration from other diverse musical landscapes. Her work is centred around emotive vocal performance with controlled vibrato, tight melodic agility and a haunting, spellbinding tone that carries ancestral spirit from forgotten times.

🎻 This proficient air of musical mysticism flows into her playing on the fiddle and low whistle, engaging and enchanting those who witness her performances. In her music, AILÍSE explores themes of self-development, historical memory and the human effort to navigate complexity and change.

🎶 Ailise will be performing with New York-based Greg Castro, a songwriter and musician whose unique and powerful style captures attention, and leaves an impression on audiences big and small. A Catskill Mountain native, his classic yet refreshing melodies have a bold, refined taste, reminiscent of the rolling jams of Woodstock, the tight snap of the hotel big bands, and the folk intimacy of Bearsville.

🎸 Together they share a live performance that is both intimate and quietly powerful. Blending Irish folk with elements of Catskill mountain rock, their sound is shaped in the moment—fiddle, low whistle, and guitar weaving naturally around each other.

Be sure to catch Ailíse’s set!

WHY GODSPELL?

Because we live in a world full of noise.

Everyone has something to sell. Everyone has an opinion. Everyone is competing for our attention.

At its heart, Godspell asks a simple question: How do we treat one another when life becomes overwhelming?

Our production begins in a bustling marketplace inspired by the people, businesses, and community around us. From there, it journeys through laughter, friendship, loss, forgiveness, and hope.

It is funny. It is heartfelt. It is joyful. It is surprisingly relevant.

Most of all, it reminds us that compassion still matters.

I hope you'll join us.

— Beth Robertson, Director

📣 We’re thrilled to announce that Cécilia will be performing at Celtfest this summer!

🪗 Widely recognized as three of Canada's finest musicians, it is a pleasure to see how much enjoyment Timi Turmel, Erin Leahy, and Louis Schryer find in playing together.

🎶 While honouring their heritage as Cécilia, their music making has an undeniably fresh and high-spirited sound. They bring the best of many musical worlds together in their explorations of traditional, Celtic and Quebecois music.

🎻 Each performance by Cécilia is a call to come out and share – not only in the joy of three dedicated musicians making music together but also in creating with Timi, Erin, and Louis a unique and memorable musical experience. You'll find yourself with a smile that lasts long after the final notes of Cécilia's accordion, piano, and violin have melted away.

It’s gonna be a great set!! We’ll see you there!
