The Crossing at Firehouse Center for the Arts

Join us for an afternoon of fun, inspiring Celtic music and support The Salvation Army of Newburyport’s anti-hunger and homelessness prevention ministries!

Celtic folk group The Crossing utilizes seventeen acoustic instruments, including fiddle, cello, flute, whistles, guitars, frame drums, harp and bagpipes to bring alive the essential jigs and reels.

Their original songs carry on the centuries-old tradition of good storytelling found in the Celtic lands. Add their rich harmonizing vocals, and the result is captivating and energizing.

The Crossing has been entertaining audiences since 1984, playing concert halls, pubs, gatherings, churches, Irish fairs and festivals. Their latest album, Baile (Home), released in 2010, exemplifies their traditional foundation with songs about faith, hope, love and truth.
