Join Irish singer and songwriter Mary Mc Laughlin and her Cor Aingli Irish vocal ensemble for an evening of beautiful and evocative Celtic choral music!
Sacred Days, Mystic Ways, A Concert of Ancient Irish Sacred Song will take place at Pacific Cultural Center, 1307 Seabright Avenue (at Broadway) in Santa Cruz on Saturday, November 16, at 7:30 p.m.
Whether singing a pre-Christian Gaelic fairy lament, a 13th century Latin monastic chant, or an original song in English; Mc Laughlin and her Cor Aingli (a superb 9-voice women's vocal ensemble) will make your spine tingle with their well-crafted modal harmonies, sung a cappella or accompanied by traditional instruments.
Mc Laughlin's thrilling interpretation of Gregorian chant and Gaelic traditional song is further augmented by her knack for story-telling and entertaining an audience.
A Santa Cruz-area singer, songwriter, and teacher who is steeped in the Ulster Gaelic song tradition of her native Ireland, Mary Mc Laughlin has been featured on several Celtic compilation albums, including Narada's Celtic Voices and Faire Celts. Her solo albums include The Daughter of Lir, Crystal Shoe, A Gaelic Christmas, Celtic Requiem (with guitarist William Coulter) and Sacred Days; Mythic Ways. She holds an MA in Ritual Chant and Song from Limerick University, where she specialized in the mythological songs of Ireland as well as Latin plainchant and the Irish tradition of keening.
