Ms Van Slyke, a proud member of the Hogan Clan, and a trained Conductor, Singer and Pianist in her own right, seeks to offer an exciting new opportunity in the Phoenix Arts Community. As far as Choral Celtic Music, it would be difficult to find one Choir anywhere that doesn’t devote the occasional Concert to it, but as far as Non-Academic Ensembles devoted entirely to the Choral Music of all the Celts - Irish, Welsh, Scots, Breton, Manx, among others, Celtica! appears to be the first Choral Ensemble of it’s kind in the Nation, and only the second in North America.
