Acoustic Productions and Wesleyan College are proud to present the concert event of the Holiday Season – “CELTIC CHRISTMAS” – Saturday, DEC 10, 2016 at 7:30pm at the beautiful Pierce Chapel located on the Wesleyan College Campus in Macon, GA.

This wonderful show is returning for its 14th performance in Macon and its second appearance on the Wesleyan Campus. “Celtic Christmas” is a concert of exquisite guitar and mandolin duet arrangements featuring holiday music in traditional and Celtic styles. The artists are the renowned Celtic Masters – Robin Bullock and Steve Baughman. Anyone who’s attended one of Robin & Steve’s Celtic Christmas concerts can attest to the fact that their music is guaranteed to put you in the holiday spirit. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for students and kids 12 and under get in free.

The Concert: The music of Christmas, perfectly suited to the ageless tones of the acoustic guitar, comes to life in Robin and Steve’s concert of carols and hymns spanning over 600 years. Internationally recognized as master Celtic instrumentalists, they celebrate the many moods of the Yuletide season in gorgeous guitar interpretations, augmenting their six-string virtuosity with selections on cittern, mandolin, and clawhammer banjo. Combining familiar favorites such as “What Child is This,” “The First Noel,” “O Little Town of Bethlehem” and a show-stopping guitar arrangement of “Carol of the Bells” with lesser-known pieces such as the traditional Scottish carol “Rorate,” the Irish “Wexford Carol” and the Shetland Islands fiddle tune “Christmas Day in the Morning,” they weave a spell from centuries of tradition and the joy of the season, creating an unforgettable evening of acoustic Christmas cheer.

Robin Bullock: Hailed as a “Celtic guitar god” (Baltimore City Paper), Robin Bullock’s virtuosity on guitar, cittern and mandolin perfectly balances lightning-fast fingerwork one moment with tender, quiet intimacy the next, creating a unique and magical experience. Robin is a winner of the Association for Independent Music’s prestigious INDIE Award, multiple Washington Area Music Association WAMMIE Awards, and Acoustic Guitar Magazine’s annual “Editor’s Pick” Award for his duo CD Celtic Guitar Summit with Steve Baughman.
