The essence of the Atlantic Ocean takes center stage for the Rockport Celtic Festival’s finale, complete with never-before-heard artist collaboration, narration by Ben Shattuck and some very special guests.

It has become a tradition that on the final day of the festival we acknowledge our home in Cape Ann and the rich nautical history of this stunning part of New England. We will welcome back the inimitable David Coffin along with the small pipes, nyckelharpa and accordion of the Triton Trio (Jeremiah McLane, Timothy Cummings and Alex Kehler) with a special cameo of fiddler extraordinaire Jenna Moynihan.

In addition, this year, we are thrilled to be presenting a brand-new collaboration between our artist-in-residence Liz Knowles and critically acclaimed author Ben Shattuck’s newest collection of stories ‘The History of Sound’. This new piece of music, commissioned in memory of Brian O’Donovan, blends the spectacular depths of Liz’s fiddle with Kyle Sanna’s electronics, Maeve Gilchrist on harp and cellist Mike Block. Commissioned as part of the new Brian O Donovan commission series, Liz has created a stunning piece of music that explores the ‘in-between’ places of creativity is so beautifully outlined in Ben’s writing. With narration by Ben Shattuck you can expect words that evoke the Salty Atlantic Ocean and notes that cut to the depth of your soul.
