Collins leads annual "bringin' o' the green" to Albion 3/15
ALBION – Continuing a now-beloved annual tradition, Mitzie Collins will lead an assortment of musicians and, new this year, Irish dancers in a "Celtic Celebration," part of the Eastman at Albion Courthouse Square concert series.
"If ever anyone needed to see some green, it’s us and it’s soon," said concert committee member Marsha Rivers. "Everyone enjoys this concert. We always get a good crowd. With the dancers, I think we'll see even more folks out this year."
The series features Rochester-area musicians, often affiliated with the Eastman Community Music School, paired with Albion's architectural treasures – this time, the First Baptist Church on the corner of Park and Liberty Streets. The Celtic concert will be at 3 p.m. on March 15.
Along with the well-known Collins, the concert will feature the Striking Strings Hammered Dulcimer Ensemble, along with the Harmonious Harp Ensemble, directed by Roxanne Ziegler. The Drumcliffe School of Irish Dance will join the celebration, as well as popular Irish tenor Casey Costello.
Tickets cost $10 per seat, or $5 for students, and are available online at http://www.eastmanatalbion.com/ticket-sales/ or at Bindings Bookstore, Bloom’s Flower Shop, or Fischer’s Newsroom in Albion; a lily and a sparrow in Medina; Roxy’s Music Store in Batavia.
