Saint Patrick’s Episcopal Church presents the 2015 Solas Leighis Concert Series

Sunday, December 6, 7:00 pm – Robin Bullock; www.robinbullock.com/

Internationally recognized as a master Celtic instrumentalist, Robin Bullock will once again kick off the Christmas season at Saint Patrick’s. Robin is a prolific composer and multi-instrumentalist, whose virtuosity on guitar, cittern and mandolin blends the ancient melodies of the Celtic lands and their vigorous Appalachian descendants into one powerful musical vision. The 17th-century harp tunes of legendary Irish bard Turlough O’Carolan, the spirited jigs and reels of rural Ireland, the haunting ballads of the southern Appalachians and evocative original compositions all find a musical common ground in Robin’s music, where lightning-fast fingerwork one moment is perfectly balanced with tender, quiet intimacy the next.

A wine and cheese reception is included during intermission. Tickets available at the door: $15 for adults, $10 seniors/students. For more details, visit www.saint-patricks.org or (704) 663-5659.
