Celtic Thunder

Sun. 10.14 , 7pm
Following the incredible success of Heritage, Celtic Thunder continues to explore their Irish and Celtic roots in their latest project entitled VOYAGE. The ensemble performances in this new Public Television special highlight the diversity of Irish music and song, from the powerful rendition of Dulaman to the love song Maid of Culmore, from the rousing performance of Galway Girl to beloved Irish Party songs, Seven Drunken Nights and My Irish Molly-O, VOYAGE explores all aspects of Irish music and song. The solo performances are equally wonderful and showcase the musical talent of the 6 soloists (13 year old Daniel Furlong has joined the group as a guest artist for this recording). VOYAGE depicts the journey of musical development that each soloist has undertaken since the beginning of Celtic Thunder four years ago.VOYAGE is also the first Celtic Thunder show where we see all the vocalists pick up a different instrument. Keith Harkin plays guitar on his original song All Day Long, George and Neil also play guitar on Cat's in the Cradle and Past The Point of Rescue while Ryan and Emmet up the tempo with the tin whistle and fiddle during the ensemble rendition ofGalway Girl. Celtic Thunder VOYAGE takes a journey through the varying styles of Celtic and Irish music, from old and traditional standards such as Lagan Love and Maid of Culmore to more contemporary, modern Irish songs, Past The Point of Rescue, Ride On and All Day Long, stopping at lively ensembles Galway Girl and a tribute to the Clancy Brothers in theClancy Brother Medley along the way. VOYAGE also offers soulful ballads in Scorn Not His Simplicity and Kindred Spirits, and love songs such as the classic Black is the Color and the Maid of Culmore to run the gamut of Irish music. VOYAGE is the 6th Public Television special for Celtic Thunder and the shows' 7th DVD release.

Betty White's Animal Instincts

Thur. 5.17 , 7pm
Award-winning actress and New York Times-bestselling author Betty White is known for her brilliant career in television and film, delighting audiences for nearly seven decades and earning numerous accolades, including seven Emmy Awards. Ms. White also recently won her first Grammy Award for the audio book of her memoir, If You Ask Me (And Of Course You Won�t). Perhaps not as widely known as her career is her passion for animals and her lifelong work on behalf of animal welfare, especially with the Los Angeles Zoo.

As far back as Ms. White can remember, animals were a part of her life, and regular visits to zoos were commonplace. A self-described �zoophile,� she believes deeply in the importance of zoos in saving endangered animals and in educating the public about the plight of wildlife today.

In an exclusive interview with Sam Litzinger, correspondent for CBS Radio News and host of WAMU�s The Animal House, Ms. White takes center stage to discuss her world-famous career; her love of animals; the critical work zoos are doing to combat species extinctions; and the importance of individuals working to sustain a biodiverse planet.

Ms. White�s books, Betty & Friends: My Life at the Zoo (G. P. Putnam�s Sons), and If You Ask Me (And Of Course You Won�t) (Berkley Books), are available for purchase at the program, and attendees are welcome to purchase as many copies of both books as they wish.

Please note that Ms. White is only able to sign two books per person due to the anticipated size of the audience and time limitations.
