Dalton Daily Citizen

DALTON — March Noon Arts to feature the Rome Area Flute Ensemble

The Creative Arts Guild’s monthly Noon Arts performance will feature the Rome Area Flute Ensemble.

Musical selections will include “Flight of the Bumblebee,” “Mexican Hat Dance,” “Habanera” from “Carmen” and “My Heart Will Go On” performed by Terry Brandin and Vicky Culberson Drnek from Rome, Tammy McDonald and Melissa Morgan from Summerville and Guild Music director Lisa Elders from Dalton.

The performance is Thursday beginning at noon and will conclude by 1 p.m. in the Creative Arts Guild Main Gallery. Those attending may bring a lunch or call the Guild in advance to order a box lunch for $8. Noon Arts is free and open to the public.



Beat the Winter Blues concludes with A Celtic Celebration

Guild favorites The Brookwoods and Ceilidh will return for this year’s Celtic Celebration. The event is Friday. Doors open at 6 p.m. with an Irish meal, dessert and beverages provided by The Filling Station.

The Brookwoods began playing together in 1963, performing predominately folk music from that time period. Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul and Mary, Tom Paxton, Gordon Lightfoot are the groups that influence their music the most. They also perform some Irish, and a little bluegrass.

Hillard Jolly and George Davies were the founders of the group, adding Bill Sims a couple years later. After nearly a 40-year hiatus, they re-formed for the opening of the Wink Theatre, adding Jim Todd on bass and Jayne Todd on female vocals and have been performing for the past several years.

Ceilidh is an eclectic quintet that was formed in July 2004. The word ceilidh (pronounced KAY-lee) is Gaelic, meaning a concert at which tales are told, songs are sung, and music is played for dancing. The five members are Dalton’s Beth Blackburn, Jim Burdick and Matthew Fearing, and Rome’s Janet and Sam Baltzer. They bring with them decades of experience in the performance of classical and folk music on a wide variety of instruments and a love of the haunting melodies and lively dance tunes of the Celtic tradition.

Tickets are $40 per person. Reservations may be made by calling 706-278-0168. For additional information on all the Guild has to offer visit the Guild’s Web site at creativeartsguild.org.
