Imbolc is all about hoping for success in the farming season – and wishing for a fertile year ahead. It is one of the four key festivals in the Celtic calendar – the others being Beltane, Lughnasadh and Samhain – and traditionally falls when winter stores of food were beginning to get low mid-winter and halfway between the shortest day and the spring equinox.
BassPipes brings you a ceremony that honours Imbolc, full of spoken word; drones; pipes; whistles; and other soundscapes of ancient instruments. This musical experience is 90 minutes long and includes produced recordings of Canadian artists.
