Orchestra...


Instrumentation/Audio...

Mithril offers two pre-packaged high energy performances: a general "Celtic Pops" concert that includes arrangements appropriate for any time of year and a "Celtic Christmas" concert with arrangements geared toward the winter season.

Mithril provides all arrangements as part of the performance contract. Therefore, an orchestra will only need to purchase or rent a small portion of music to accompany Mithril's repertoire.
