Celtic Band Tarras to Appear at Caltech
August 18, 2000
Pasadena—The Celtic music quintet Tarras will appear in concert at the California Institute of Technology on Saturday, September 9, at 8 p.m. The performance will be in Dabney Lounge on the Caltech campus in Pasadena.
Tarras, a youthful, exuberant band, originates from the borderlands of northern England and Scotland. This band pushes the boundaries of traditional Celtic music, with original songs featuring elements of blues and even African drums. They play guitar, cittern, bass, violin, accordion, and percussion, and all the members sing. Their first album, Rising, on Rounder Records, is growing rapidly in popularity.
Dabney Lounge, near the center of campus, is east of the intersection of Wilson Avenue and San Pasqual Street, and is wheelchair accessible. Parking is available in the Beckman Auditorium parking lots, at the south end of Michigan Avenue, just south of Del Mar Boulevard.
Tickets are available in advance and at the door, and are $12 for adults and $4 for children under 12. Caltech students receive an $8 discount. Tickets and additional information may be obtained from the Caltech ticket office at (626) 395-4652 or toll-free at 1-888-2CALTECH (222-5832).
