Experience Celtic music as never before with this “jubilant, foot-stomping and nostalgic” (Tinnitist) celebration of music. Ruckus fuses the early-music movement’s creative spirit with the grit of American roots music, creating a unique sound of “rough-edged intensity” (The New York Times). Ruckus is joined by Keir GoGwilt, the violinist know as a “formidable performer” (The New York Times) with an “evocative sound” (London Jazz News) and “finger-busting virtuosity” (The San Diego Union Tribune), to breathe new life into this exciting Celtic music.This performance is made possible in part by the Majestic Theater Centennial Endowment Fund.
