Today we musically experience the Celtic concept of ‘pilgrimage.’ In medieval Ireland a holy man or woman would head out into the waters in a small boat and no oars, allowing the waters and the grace of God to guide them to an unknown shore. We too will head out on the road and into mysterious waters to discover the music that lies there. Enjoy!
