Cahal DunnePiano and Vocals

Allegheny RiverStone Center for the Arts regrets that due to Governor Wolf’s Pennsylvania November 23rd restrictions regarding attendance at indoor events in view of the spike of COVID cases, the Sunday, December 20th Wonderful World of Christmas concert with Cahal Dunne has been cancelled.  Cahal is a long-time friend of ARCA – and we will seek to bring him back next Christmas, with the hopes and prayers that it will be once again safe for our artists and patrons to join us in celebrating the holidays with music.

Thank you for your understanding.

Our fondest wishes for your health and continuing safety during this challenging time.
