The CREATION performance was enhanced by a visual perspective of creation-themed works by area artists, projected on stage during the concert to create a unique synthesis of the visual and musical arts in a glorious celebration of the natural world around us.
Guests were welcomed to join us prior to the show to view the work of area artists, who had submitted their best CREATIONS and were offering them for sale.
The silent auction of this work, to benefit the Chorale, was held online during the month of April as well as prior to the performance at the Lincoln Center.

Thanks to everyone who made our 2007 Celtic Voices concert a success. The Lincoln Center was nearly sold out and the pre-concert gala was a scrumptous ordeal.

We are truly grateful to Colcannon for sharing their music with us.
