JEMS is pleased to present ~ The Christmas Rose

Martha Gallagher performs her unique telling of The Christmas Rose, inspired by Selma Lagerlöf’s The Legend of the Christmas Rose, with Celtic harp in hand, weaving together song, story, music, and legend.

The performance is ideal for adults, teens and older children; it is not intended for young children.

The heart of this story centers on the miracles of the heart, transcending any one religion, making it a universal tale of faith, joy, hope and love.

Martha Gallagher has been sharing her spirited, distinctive, and richly varied music with audiences for over 45 years.  Known regionally as The Adirondack Harper, she has performed with such luminaries as six-time Grammy winners, The Chieftains.  Her extensive solo tours have taken her around the US and into Canada, with several tours sponsored by The National Endowment for the Arts. She has been featured on numerous television and radio programs; including BBC Television, Northeast Public Radio, and Good Morning Arizona.
