Celtic trio will perform maritime-theme tunes at Chehalem Cultural Center in Newberg

A band that takes its lead from the maritime traditions of Scotland, Ireland, Scandinavia and North America will soon travel to Newberg to take the stage. The trio that comprises the Celtic band Kalos will perform at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 21 at the Chehalem Cultural Center, 415 E. Sheridan St. Tickets are $35 for adults, $30 for seniors and students and $5 for Arts for All members who possess an Oregon Trail Card. The band’s emphasis on maritime tunes is reflected in its two latest albums — “Harbour” in 2019 and “Headland” in 2023 — and were intended to “honor the meeting point between the land and sea (as) they sing songs about shorelines, seafarers and drownings,” a release said. “They revel in the driving danceability of Irish tunes, but also take inspiration from the pastoral melodies and naturalistic metaphors of Scottish music,” the release continued.
