Young Musicians, Inc. of Evanston presents the Ceili at the Roundhouse Celtic Festival 2013. In its fifth year of providing a rich cultural experience to Southwest Wyoming, the festival is poised to continue its explosive growth.<\/p>\n

The Ceili at the Roundhouse Celtic Festival was first held Feb. 2009, as the product of a conversation between Carolee Bowen, Executive Director with Young Musicians, Inc. and then Evanston City Mayor, Will Davis.\u00a0 Mayor Davis has always been impressed with the Oyster Ridge Bluegrass Festival in Kemmerer, and wondered if Evanston could ever create a festival on that caliber.\u00a0\u201cI had been thinking about starting a Celtic festival for a few years,\u201d Carolee Bowen says. \u201cI presented the idea, indicating that there wasn’t currently a Celtic festival in the region.\u201d Carolee offered that her organization, Young Musicians, Inc. was looking to create a large festival event in order to do some fundraising.\u00a0 \u201cThe Mayor helped get the festival started by contributing to help pay for top notch headline entertainment,\u201d Carolee adds.<\/p>\n

The festival has quickly become a community production.\u00a0 \u201cSince 2009, other local organizations have jumped on board to help, including the Evanston Irish Session, the Fiber Arts Guild, and others,\u201d Carolee says.\u00a0 The expansion of entertainment, authentic food, educational workshops, storytelling, arts & crafts and much more have contributed to this growth and helped to make Ceili at the Roundhouse Celtic Festival a well-rounded cultural experience.<\/p>\n

A great Celtic festival features lots of good music, and Evanston\u2019s event doesn\u2019t disappoint. In 2013, exciting headlining groups (such as Battlefield Band from Scotland, Lunasa, and Goitse from Ireland), join regional performers and topnotch talent. A craft fair also joins the event, as well as pre-festival events: \u00a0March 20 – 6 pm, catch “L\u00fanasa” in Concert at Suds Brothers Brewery (ticket required);\u00a0March 21 – 7 pm “New Time Ensemble” performs at Main Street Deli (free).\u00a0Be sure to check out Ceili at the Roundhouse in Evanston this coming weekend, March 22-23 in Evanston!<\/p>\n

H\u00fcz\u00fcn:\u00a0 Memories of Istanbul<\/span><\/p>\n

Artist Statement: \u00a0H\u00fcz\u00fcn, the Turkish word for melancholy is among the most mysterious concepts I have ever come across.\u00a0 H\u00fcz\u00fcn has an Arabic root, and in one sense refers to a type of spiritual anguish, suffered when we grow in attachment to worldly pleasures, and in turn experience a distance from God and spirituality.\u00a0 However, the modern concept of h\u00fcz\u00fcn goes far beyond the history of the word.\u00a0 It is not only a spiritual affliction experienced by devout Muslims, but also a much more ambiguous emotion felt by the residents of Istanbul.\u00a0 Turkish author Orhan Pamuk described h\u00fcz\u00fcn as \u201cthe emotion that a child might feel while looking though a steamy window.\u201d\u00a0 H\u00fcz\u00fcn is not the melancholy of a single person, but a dark mood shared by millions of people together, by the entire city of Istanbul.\u00a0 Although a grim concept, h\u00fcz\u00fcn is central to Istanbul culture; it binds Istanbullus together, and is shared with pride throughout the community.<\/span><\/p>\n

To a newly arrived visitor, the deepest presence of h\u00fcz\u00fcn may go unnoticed, or simply described as a mysterious presence or air about the city.\u00a0 I myself, emerging as a new resident of Istanbul, was ignorant to the strong effect h\u00fcz\u00fcn has over the city.\u00a0 In the first months, I characterized the feeling as a magic, or dream-like quality that possesses every detail of the strange and beautiful city.\u00a0 Indeed, it is a kind of magic, a type of collective awareness that is unique to Istanbul.\u00a0 However, as the months wore on, and winter settled over the Bosphorus, I felt the presence of h\u00fcz\u00fcn so tangibly I could almost touch it, and I experienced the heavy weight of Istanbul for the first time.\u00a0 These works are my h\u00fcz\u00fcn, my Istanbul, my surreal world.<\/p>\n

Gabrielle Reeves Biography: \u00a0<\/span>Gabrielle Reeves is a visual artist currently based in Wyoming.\u00a0 After receiving her Associates of Fine Arts Degree from Casper College she moved to Laramie, where she completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting.\u00a0 Throughout her work as an undergraduate, Gabrielle participated in several study abroad programs including a semester in London and a summer drawing class in Turkey.\u00a0 Gabrielle has participated in a number of juried and solo exhibitions in and outside of the University.\u00a0 Several of her paintings have been commissioned and purchased by the University of Wyoming and can be viewed in various buildings throughout the campus.
