All Star Concert
This annual concert has
become recognized as one of the finest showcases of authentic traditional and
innovative Celtic style music anywhere on Cape Breton Island, featuring our
stellar Music Camp Faculty, and hospitality of the St. Peter's Lions Hall.
Tickets can be purchased in advance on line.
Who should come?
Any amateur musician, at
any level of accomplishment, who wants to learn some new stuff, close-up and 1
on 1 with some incredible teachers. We have a Celtic orientation with a world
view. Also, you should come if you want to meet and play with like-minded
musicians. We have an 'accompanist' program for partners who don't play an
instrument. Campers are all ages from grade school students to senior citizens.
(You don't have to camp, most people stay at the Inn or local hotel, although
there is camping available - and we offer a 'home billet' program - more info
TBA in the coming weeks).
