WHY: Stonecircle is a vibrant five-piece, Celtic fusion band that has been performing acoustic Celtic fusion music in the United States since 1993. In addition to performing its own arrangements of traditional tunes from England, Scotland, Ireland, and Brittany, Stonecircle also writes original instrumental and vocal tunes in the Celtic style and performs them with passionate energy and clarity of sound. Stonecircle music is a language of haunting melodies and energetic, driving tunes; the goal of the band has always been to create a musical experience that is exhilarating, ethereal, and beautifully uplifting.
The Crawford School of Irish Dance is directed by Jill Crawford, TCRG. Ms. Crawford is nationally certified by the Irish Commission in good standing and registered with the Irish Dance Teachers Association of North America. The school has performed a number of times with the world renowned Chieftains, Cherish the Ladies, Utah Symphony and, most recently, the Olympic events at Washington Square and Olympic Village.
