 | Leahy Family Christmas
7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Celebrate the holidays in Celtic style with the Leahy Family!
Leahy is the Canadian powerhouse of eight musical brothers and sisters who are a whirlwind triple-threat of fiddle-driven music, dance, and vocals augmented by keyboards and percussion. Their music combines the influence of their Irish and Scottish roots with their inherent desire to widely travel the musical map.
A Leahy Family Christmas includes Christmas classics and new Leahy material, as well as Christmas stories that make you feel as though you are one of the characters yourself. From sacred hymns and slow airs to a smorgasbord of fiery tunes and carols, A Leahy Family Christmas covers the full spectrum of Christmas music.
“Leahy makes Christmas a true family affair!” - The Calgary Herald

 | Pendulum New Music: Unsilent Night
7:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Phil Kline's Unsilent Night is a free outdoor participatory sound sculpture of many individual parts, recorded on cassettes, CDs and mp3s, and played through a roving swarm of boomboxes carried through city streets every December. People bring their own boomboxes and drift peacefully through a cloud of sound which is different from every listener's perspective. Since 1992, this 45-minute work has grown into a worldwide annual communal event that has become an essential part of many winter holiday celebrations. Visit http://www.cu-pendulum.com/ for more information or to download mp3s.
Unsilent Night will start at the corner of 15th and Pearl Streets.
