Celtic culture comes alive at The College of Piping & Celtic Performing Arts of Canada in beautiful Prince Edward Island. Immerse yourself in a living, breathing heritage with the skirl of the bagpipes, rhythm of the drums, and flying feet of the dancers! Arouse your senses with vibrant sights and sounds, and feel inspired by the spirit of young students who embrace their heritage with infectious enthusiasm.
This summer, uplift your spirits and feel the exhilaration of Highland Storm: The Gael, an all-new, high-energy show of Celtic music, song and dance. Visitors will be captivated by the fast-paced feet of the Highland and step dancers, stirred by the sounds of the pipes and drums, and soothed by the sweet voice of Patricia Murray, with her stirring love ballads and rhythmical work songs. With the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns being celebrated this year, the show also pays tribute to “Scotland’s national bard”.
Featuring a cast of over thirty talented musicians, singers and dancers, the show runs three nights a week, Tuesday - Thursday throughout July and August. With artistic direction provided by Stephanie Cadman, a world-renowned dancer, fiddler and choreographer, this is THE MUST-SEE show on PEI this summer.

Replythe ancient Celts were farmers and warriors, with a strongly hierarchical society with powerful chiefs. They built large hillforts to protect their communities, some of their hillforts can still be seen at places like Maiden Castle in Dorest for instance. Celtic warriors were famous for their ferocity and bravery. Chariots were used by the warriors,a nd also cavalry.They worshipped many gods and goddesses, and apparently (according to Caesar) practiced human sacrifice. The Druids were important figures in Celtic society, they were priests and teachers, and seem to have been highly regarded. The Celts seem to have a cult of the human head, many carved stone heads have been found that were made by Celtic craftsmen. Sometimes their dead were buried, and sometimes they were cremated.Myspace Profile Layouts

ReplyThrough The Three Oaks, her personal foundation, McKennitt will enter into a three-year partnership with the college. Though he did not disclose the amount, MacAulay describes the singer’s contribution as a substantial donation in support of the college and its mission.
