Recorded LIVE in Stratford ON on June 10 & 11, 2022 at The Avondale.

Every year, the Stratford Symphony Orchestra embraces Celtic culture by inviting talented artists to collaborate with the orchestra in an evening of musical celebration. In June 2022, The Bookends capped off the SSO’s 17th Season sharing their positive musical energy in a sold-out show that lifted spirits when it was most needed, resulting in this memorable recording that brings together the Celtic and Symphonic musical traditions.
