A musical family, Iowa City


The "Celtic Family Christmas" performance led by Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy that we went to in December turned out to have delightfully more family to it than expected: just before the intermission, the couple invited their children on stage with them to perform, and for the rest of the show kids wandered on and off the stage, sometimes joining or leading songs, sometimes just snuggling up on the couches with whichever parent wasn't actively performing at the moment. Towards the end, after they were sent off to bed, two of the little girls adorably sneaked out again and hid behind one of the stage props to watch. A deeply musical family, who I hope were having as good a time as it looked like being on tour together.
