We saw Loreena McKennitt last night in Reading, PA. She is a magical musician, song writer and artist. Her music draws you into a moving exploration of literary, historic, and spiritual themes. She weaves history, culture and literary words into an earthy, Celtic, ethnic rhythm. She has traveled all over the world and created music from her experiences and journeys. She states “her starting point is the belief that, in one way or another, we are all an extension of each other’s history. Wanting to learn about our neighbors is also a desire to learn about ourselves.”
When we were in Asheville, NC, I saw that Loreena would be playing at UNCA this Thursday, 4/26. I wanted to go back to Asheville to see her but knew it would not be possible. Knowing that she was touring on the East Coast, I had hoped that she would be in my neck of the woods. It was tough for us to be out on a Monday night past 8 p.m. as we would have to load up on caffeine the rest of the week but the concert was worth the time. I also got to preview the 2nd leg of the Triple Crown Series as the Sovereign Performing Arts Center is right in the middle of that course. :-)
