Evening of Celtic Music and Irish Step Dancing at the Egyptian
Theater, Ogden
7:00 PM on Saturday October 11, 2008
Ogden Valley's fiddler Theresa Ellis will kick-off the three
part Celtic "package show" at Peery's Egyptian Theater 7:00
PM on Saturday October 11, 2008. An Evening of Celtic Music
and Irish Step Dancing will be filled with jigs, reels, old
and new music from the emerald isles, Scottish, Irish and
beyond.
Promoter Rod Bulloch of Provo, Utah is the Deputy Commissioner
of the Rocky Mountain Clan Donald (USA) and says this represents
ancestors from one of the largest clans in Scotland. He is
putting on the concert to remember and support the Scottish
heritage.
The celebration concert will start off with Theresa Ellis
and her group featuring an entourage of 3 fiddlers playing
traditional and some original Celtic style music from the
Ellis & Franklin album Traveler. Joining her are OV residents
Gary Kelso, bass & guitar, Joe Clem, percussion, Joy Dacquel
Clem, fiddle, Eileen Dempsey, fiddle and electric bass of
Ogden and Frosty MacWilliams, whistle, guitar, and mandolin
from Plain City, Utah. Theresa hails from Detroit, migrated
south to Nashville, Tennessee and has performed with many
famous musicians over the past 30 years. In her career she
played solo violin, fiddle, and played in string sectional
recordings with the Nashville Symphony and fiddled on the
famous Grand Ole Opry stage. Theresa is currently the band,
choir and orchestra teacher at Snowcrest JH and is involved
with the Grounded in Grace GIG Community and the Triangle
of Empowerment Retreat October 3-4, Eden.
LaRae R. Thackeray's performing dance group Celtic Beat, from
Layton, Utah will feature Irish Step Dancing.
The Galloway Pipes and Drums will wind up the evening. "Hearing
the pipes and drums off in the distance conjures up many images
in our minds ... a lone piper on a cliff playing to the colors
of a beautiful setting sun ... the sight of children lined
up along the streets waving flags as the reverberations of
the pipes and drums echo between the buildings ... and sadly,
the memories of a fallen comrade. Yes, the pipes and drums
are all of these. They are steeped in tradition and bring
a charge of emotion to all who hear."

Violinist Theresa Ellis will be giving a workshop called New
Prairie, sound therapy Saturday 1:45 to 3:15 PM. The season
of fire on the prairie is devastating, yet necessary for rebirth,
for reseeding. Remember your fiery life experiences, gain
insights of those moments, release hidden emotions and allow
the passage toward balance. This is a quiet, private growing
experience to have this day alongside other participants.
Travel your personal journey to truth and individual understanding
while experiencing the live music rendition "New Prairie".
The healing circle gathers after the live performance. Like
the Native American Indian style, you are seated around the
room, taking turns to pass the Apache violin, and speak of
your insight or new awareness. You may share if you choose
during this time, the feelings and experience you had or reminiscences.
The purpose of this workshop is to orchestrate harmony and
the hope that you will resonate with joy and new self awareness.
Explore nuances of sounds, color and self awareness to attain
revitalization, and healing.
In addition she will be charging a nominal fee for Cranial
bodywork by appointment, sign up at registration. This is
a Holistic approach to inner balancing. Traveler CD's with
New Prairie will be available for sale at the Retreat and
Workshop.
