Internationally-acclaimed artists Jonah Kim (cello) and Sean Kennard (piano) will be joining C2C producers and composer/arrangers Sheridan Seyfried (violin) and Ya-Jhu Yang (flute) for an exhilarating and varied program. Rounding out the ensemble is last year’s featured artist, Pam Pecko Smith (flute).

In 2016, Sheridan Seyfried and Ya-Jhu Yang began producing the Celtic to Classical concert series in Southern Delaware. Seyfried has ties to the area—his father Steve has produced the Rehoboth Summer Children’s Theatre there since 1982. Seyfried himself previously produced the Lewes Chamber Music Festival from 2002-2007. Celtic to Classical strives to create memorable and unique concert experiences, presenting music of different styles side-by-side.

Frequently appearing on the series over the years has been world-class cellist Jonah Kim. Other guest performers have included violist Jessica Chang, pianist Sean Kennard, violinist Dennis Kim, violinist Alexis Meschter, violinist Moni Simeonov, flutist Pam Pecko Smith, soprano Anne Marie Stanley, and soprano Kristin Renee Young.
