KCC SPRING CONCERT 2018

 Join the Kettering Children’s Choir as they celebrate the music and culture of Ireland and the British Isles through both song and dance! Dancers from the Celtic Academy of Irish Dance will be featured on the concert, as will the phenomenal Irish instrumental trio, Changeling. This performance is tied to the organization’s tour of Ireland in June of 2018, and will also feature two world premieres written by Timothy P. Cooper, the KCC’s 2017-2018 composer-in-residence. From the familiar Danny Boy to the lesser-known Paddy Works on the Railway, this concert will be fun for all ages.
