Come Dance with Me in Ireland - Pilgrimage to Yeats Country

Sunday, March 4, 2018 @ 12:00AMSun, Mar 4, 2018 @ 12:00AM

Patrick Ball at Vagabond Blues, 642 S Alaska St, Palmer, Alaska

Harpist and Storyteller Patrick Ball returns with his new show  Come Dance with Me in Ireland - Pilgrimage to Yeats Country A musical and dramatic performance based on the life and works of  William Butler Yeats Join Celtic harper and storyteller Patrick Ball for a harp-filled, dramatic performance based on the life and works of Ireland’s greatest poet, William Butler Yeats. Come Dance with Me In Ireland will be presented on March 3rd at the Anchorage Museum Auditorium at 7:30 pm  A second show will be presented at Vagabond Blues at 6 PM on March 4th. Tickets are $25.00 and available through Centertix. In the spring of 2016, Patrick was awarded a Visiting Fellowship by the Moore Institute at the National University of Ireland, Galway to study the life and works of Ireland’s greatest poet, William Butler Yeats. Patrick spent a commendable amount of time in the Archives and Special Collections. But, if he was forced to be truthful, he would have to admit that he spent a great deal more time in the pubs of Galway and rambling around Yeats Country. He likes to think that this performance has the savor of all these influences.  A Nobel Prize winner, Yeats(1865–1939) was an Irish poet and one of the foremost figures of 20th century literature. A pillar of both the Irish and British literary establishments, he helped to found the Abbey Theatre, and in his later years served as an Irish Senator for two terms. Yeats was a driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival.  Patrick tours extensively throughout Europe, the United States and Canada, is considered one of the premier Celtic harpers and storytellers in the world today, and has recorded nine instrumental and three spoken word albums which have sold well over one-half million copies collectively and earned national awards in both the music and spoken word categories.   To hear examples of Patrick’s extraordinary brass strung harp go to  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMMPPTOMlPI .

Seasons of the Witch - Double CD set

Seasons of the Witch is an evocative, earthy delight honoring the
Goddess through the movement of the seasons. It features the haunting,
powerful music of Peggy Monaghan and her friends, and the poetry of
Goddess movement pioneer, Patricia Monaghan. This is a rich, heady brew
that recalls starlit nights and voices from long ago.

season cover"This album is a
true celebration of the Goddess and God." Miriam Robbins Dexter

Crystalline voices and celestial harmonies rise up and fill the air.
Songs and poems celebrate the nature of Woman, as revealed in the
seasons. These are the faces of the Goddess and the stages of Woman -
Maiden, Lover, Mother and Crone. Seasons of the Witch celebrates the
Goddess by honoring the power of creation.

The promise of Spring.
The fulfillment of Summer.
The reflection of Autumn.
The resolution of Winter.

This 2-CD set began as a book of poems, Seasons of the Witch, by
Patricia Monaghan, a pioneering leader in the Goddess movement. Her
sister, Peggy Monaghan, gave this book as gifts to her musician friends
in Alaska and California. The music was spontaneously born from Peggy
and her friends as a response to the power in the poems. Peggy
conceived this project as she heard the musical responses and decided to
produce the original 1994 CD, as well as this new expanded version.
Peggy and friends have written and performed 12 new songs for this 2-CD
set, as well as including spoken word performances of Patricia's
poetry.

Seasons of the Witch is the result of connections between sisters and
friends, and the inherent power of words and music.
