Artists featured in exhibitions have included: Jo Man on electric guitar, Anne Boume on keyboards and cello, and George Koller on bass. Describing McKennitt's music is not easy. Some people compare her vocal style to that of Kate Bush, the English singer whose music has emerged from British folk roots. Others see her as a Celtic folk artist, steeped in the mystical quali ties inherent in the music she per forms, especially when she plays harp and concentrates on her adap tations of traditional material and her settings of Yeats poems. Says Rick Overall of the Ottawa Sun, “Loreena McKennitt is a refreshing diversion. And one we should all experience.” A limited number of reserved tickets for the performance by Loreena McKennitt are on sale now for $25 each (including GST).
