Rizzetta’s Tones To Perform Unique Style Of Celtic Music BY JEFF FALK
Talented musicians performing, creating beautiful music together, doing what they love to do. An appreciative audience engaged, interpreting and hanging on every note. That’s the type of setting that Lancaster Catholic High School’s Fine and Performing Arts Department will try to create at its love-themed concert on Saturday, Feb. 11. Celtic band Rizzetta’s Tones will perform at 6 p.m. inside the Lancaster Catholic cafeteria. Admission is free, but donations for Lancaster Catholic’s Fine and Performing Arts Department will be accepted. “A lot of our songs are meaningful to people,” said Bill Stine, Rizzetta’s Tones’ organizer and founder. “We’re telling stories.

It’s to get people out, and we’re helping our small businesses. It gives our merchants a lift to spring. It’s about community and pride and people. Fire and Ice is a big event that turns the streets into galleries of art.” Physically and metaphorically, fire and ice are represented by the 70 ice sculptures, the chili cook-off conducted by original sponsor Lititz Lions Club and a relatively new fire show featuring a display of pyrotechnics. But the carnival also features a Lititz town crawl, a photography show, scavenger hunts, food trucks and much more. See Fire And Ice pg 8
