The Saskatoon Brass Band Presents: The Cry of the Celts a program of Irish music for St. Patrick’s Day.

The concert taking place on Sunday, March 17@2:30pm in the Castle Theatre at Aden Bowman Collegiate will feature both traditional Irish music and newer pieces that have a Celtic vibe.  A number of soloists from within the band will be featured on various pieces. We will be turning the Castle Theatre into a Ceilidh, (dancing in the aisles optional). You’ll hear some familiar melodies in unfamiliar settings so come and celebrate your Irish heritage or your lack of Irish heritage.
