Top-notch Celtic music by Turas brought largest summer crowd

Blackstone River Theatre booked Turas to close out our 2025 Take It Outside Summer series and we were rewarded with a great concert and our biggest outside crowd last year. Turas is comprised of five excellent musicians, all who play multiple instruments and also sing. Their presentation is a lively mix of Irish, Scottish, and contemporary Celtic instrumental music as well as Irish songs and sea chanteys. A great mix of music with interesting instrumentation and arrangements. Highly recommended!
