About this Event
SUNDAY MARCH 15, 2026
Celebrating Celtic music is a tradition for the month of March, as the world celebrates St Patrick's Day. Shanahy, the longest-running Celtic music ensemble in the Intermountain West, presents Bonny Celtic Moon, an annual event of music from Ireland, Scotland, and related music. Shanahy consists of Andrew Morrill on Scottish lowland pipes and whistles, Kate MacLeod on vocals, fiddle, and acoustic guitar, Bronwen Beecher on vocals and fiddle, Mark Hazel on vocals and acoustic guitar, and Bob Smith with his traditional bodhran and eclectic percussion. Brian Dobson will be joining Shanahy as special guest on whistles and bodhran.
Opening the evening concert will be Finch and the Magpies, featuring Marissa Giles, Brock Pate, and Clyde Ellis. The trio's repertoire ranges from jigs and reels older than your great great grandpa, to music you'd hear released last year.
The Alliance Theater is on the second floor, at the SW corner of the Trolley Square complex. There is parking in the mall garage parking lots underneath the theater space (approach from the SW corner, as well as surrounding street parking. Find out more about parking in the FAQ section.
