Direct from Ireland, Dublin Irish Dance will perform at Armstrong Auditorium on Wednesday, Feb. 15, at 7:30 p.m. during their U.S. tour. The ensemble of dancers and musicians will present their new show WINGS–A Celtic Dance Celebration. “We are pleased to have this prestigious group back with a brand new show,” said Program Director Ryan Malone. “We have a rich Irish dance culture here, and we’re honored to bring such renowned members of that art form to our stage.” WINGS is a brand-new Celtic dance production featuring exquisite Irish and World champion dancers together with Ireland’s finest musical and vocal virtuosos. Complete with original music and choreography, this ground-break-
ing production, infused with world dance and musical influences, will thrill audiences with its transformative emotional energy and imaginative design. Tickets start at $45 for adults and $35 for youth aged 6 and up (under 6 not recommended). For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit ArmstrongAuditorium.org or call the Box Office at (405) 285-1010. Armstrong International Cultural Foundation celebrates its 24th season with its 2022-23 Performing Arts Series. The multi-award-winning Armstrong Auditorium has established itself as a world-class center for the arts in Oklahoma since 2010. The theater has hosted acclaimed local and international performances from a vast array of genres, including classical, jazz, folk music, musical theater, classical ballet, folk dance and more. Designed to provide an exceptional acoustic experience, only 75 feet separate the stage from the back wall, allowing the 823-seat theater to
boast a nine-millisecond initial time delay gap—a measure of remarkable acoustic intimacy. Armstrong Auditorium’s exquisite beauty and warm atmosphere continue to make it an extraordinary venue worthy of its numerous accolades. Upcoming Shows WEDNESDAY, FEB. 15, 2023 7:30 P.M.
