Details:
International recording/performing artist, Celeste Howard Ray performs on both coasts of the United States; she has toured Europe and Australia, gaining audiences from Pete Seeger to the Governor of QLD, Australia. She has taken the ancient-styled Bowed Psaltery to an expert level featuring double bowing. Rooted firmly in classical and jazz training, Celeste's inspiration into the Celtic-World realm began in the late 90's with the release of "The Gateway" after a mind altering experience listening to Loreena McKennitt's "Book of Secrets".

Celeste currently performs Early Music Workshops and concerts in LA and NYC areas and focuses her time between teaching, composing and performing this rich heritage of Irish, Celtic and World music. Recipient of a grant from the Ventura Arts Alliance, this CD of Celtic Blessings has been made possible.
Blessing of the Elements and Blessing for Setting Forth were written by St. Patrick set to original music by Celeste Howard.
