Magical Strings performs lively arrangements of traditional music on Celtic harp, hammered dulcimer, whistles, concertina and accordion augmented by champion Irish dancers from the Tara Academy, along with soulful original compositions inspired by their journeys to Ireland and beyond.

Described by the Washington Post as "sonically gorgeous," they will carry you to sublime realms with ancient airs and their own unique compositions, have you dancing to lively jigs and reels and share stories and selections from their newest CDs Fairy Wind and Lullaby for a Souls Journey. Philip and Pam Boulding who have toured worldwide for over 40 years and recorded 22 albums, will perform on their own hand-crafted Celtic harps and hammered dulcimers along with whistles, button accordion, concertina and more.
