The Tartan Army has left town, but Boston’s celebration of all things Scottish continues as the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society of Boston presents its annual Concert and Ceilidh, titled “The Old World Meets the New”.

Join us for a joyous afternoon of music, highland dancing, and country dancing – onstage and for everyone! The bar will be open, and snacks will be available. Bring the kids, bring the grandparents!


Featured artists Alasdair White (fiddle) & Eric McDonald (guitar, vocals) are a duo whose music bridges the deep roots of Scottish tradition with the dynamic pulse of North American folk. Together they seek to create sounds that are both timeless and adventurous, striving for a character marked by nuance, energy and an abiding respect for tradition.

Additional music is provided by Stephen Thomforde (pipes).

Dance performances by Highland Dance Boston and the Boston Scottish Country Dancers round out the program, highlighting traditional Scottish dance elements alongside innovative and fun new arrangements.

There will be Ceilidh dancing at intermission and after the show. All are welcome to join in the fun.
