Uptown! Knauer Performing Arts Center is offering an authentic Celtic musical experience this St. Patrick’s Day with the family-based band, Cormorant’s Fancy.

The 7-member group will appear in West Chester for one show only on Friday, March 17 at 7:30 PM. This cross-generational performance will wow audiences with the instruments and sounds of Ireland, Scotland, and the Celtic nations.

With Celtic music in their blood, Cormorant’s Fancy uses traditional instruments and arrangements. Their compelling cross-generational lineup unites the past, present and future, and their music rings true leading them to be described as both “spellbinding” and “energetic.” This will be an event for all-ages.

The show is performed in the intimate 2nd floor Univest Cabaret space. Audiences of legal age will be encouraged to grab a pint from Mac’s Foxhole Lounge in the lobby to bring upstairs for the show. Tickets are $22 in advance and $25 at the door.

On Monday, March 13th at 7 PM, the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Frank McCourt, Angela’s Ashes, comes to life in the film of the same name. The screening will be on the A. Roy Smith Mainstage screen. Tickets to the film are just $5, and include free popcorn.

Born in Limerick, Frank McCourt defines what it means to overcome what has been delivered to you in the lottery of life, and we celebrate with him as he finally arrives as an adult in America to pursue his dream of becoming a writer. Directed by Alan Parker, and starring Emily Watson, Robert Carlyle, and Joe Breen, the film offers a stunning soundtrack composed and conducted by John Williams, and features songs by Billie Holiday and Sinéad O’Connor.
