Celtic Psalms Concert
Celtic Psalms music brings people together across community divides through concerts featuring psalms set to traditional melodies. In the past, we have held concerts in Protestant, Catholic, and secular venues, and this streamed event would be open to people from mixed backgrounds.
Our events are for people from any denominational or faith background, and we have found that our music appeals to people across a broad spectrum. At this time of separation, it’s more important than ever to find ways to connect, not only within communities but between communities. This event could be viewed and shared by people from a wide range of life situations, including by those who are shielding and who continue to be isolated from gatherings.
Celtic Psalms music is uplifting and taps into the breadth of human emotion, from sorrow to joy, fear to hope. All of those emotions are being experienced at this time of pandemic, and this musical event would serve to soothe the soul and bring people into a sense of unity within this time of global upheaval.
