Music academy announces ‘A Celtic Christmas’ at Lawrence Arts Center

The theme of the Americana Music Show is “A Celtic Christmas,” featuring a rich mix of Irish, Scottish and traditional Christmas tunes. The show will be at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 3 at the Lawrence Arts Center, 940 N.H.

Performers include Cindy Novello, Scott Tichenor, Micheal Paul, Steve Mason, plus performances by the staff and students of the Americana Music Academy of Lawrence and Topeka.

The show will also feature a few sing-along traditional carols and a grand finale of the “Hallelujah Chorus,” played by semi-professional Kazoo players from near and far. This may be a sanctioned event for the Guiness Book of World records, so you will want to be sure and see this in person.

The holiday show is a major fundraiser for Americana’s community services, such as music therapy, lessons and instruments for disadvantaged children and adults.

Admission is $10, with children 12 and under admitted for free.
