NOW January 7th @ 2:00pm: The Softer Side of Celtic combines music, stories and a wee bit of history from Scotland, Ireland and England into a program that will keep you on the edge of your seat! There will be singing, laughing, clapping and perhaps foot stomping. Jeff Snow’s concerts are interactive, inviting questions and input from the audience. The typical concert includes music on the guitar, bouzouki and autoharp. Celtic Culture is woven deeply throughout the fabric of America and especially so in the Northeast. This concert will also feature some holiday music. More information can be found at http://www.jeffsnow.net/concerts.html
The Ridgefield Folk Concert Series is made possible through the generous support of the Friends of the Ridgefield Library.
December 11th @ 2:00pm: Join us for a delightful afternoon interlude listening to inimitable voice actor Alan Sklar read two seasonal works. He will treat us to O.Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi,” and Dylan Thomas’s “A Child’s Christmas in Wales.” Light refreshments of tea and cookies will be served.
