2025’s Featured Artists

Internationally-acclaimed artists Jonah Kim (cello) and Sean Kennard (piano) joined C2C producers and composer/arrangers Sheridan Seyfried (violin) and Ya-Jhu Yang (flute) for an exhilarating and varied program. Rounding out the ensemble was last year’s featured artist, Pam Pecko Smith (flute). This year’s program included music by Sergei Rachmaninoff and George Gershwin, as well as brand new compositions by Seyfried. In celebration of our tenth year, we reprised favorite selections from over the years, including Bartok’s Romanian Folk Dances and, of course, Celtic melodies!

About Celtic to Classical

Celtic to Classical presents mixed-genre live concerts in Southern Delaware. Movements of classical masterworks are presented alongside other styles, such as Celtic, bluegrass, New Age, and folk. Listeners will often hear arrangements and compositions by the producers of the series, Sheridan Seyfried and Ya-Jhu Yang, who perform on piano, violin, and flute, alongside guest musicians.

Concerts last a little more than one hour. A free-will offering is accepted in lieu of ticketed admission. Seating is first-come, first-served.

Please send us a message to ensure we have your email address, so you won’t miss out on announcements in the future. To make a donation to Celtic to Classical, click here.

Celtic to Classical and Southern Delaware

In 2016, Sheridan Seyfried and Ya-Jhu Yang began producing the Celtic to Classical concert series in Southern Delaware. Seyfried has ties to the area—his father Steve has produced the Rehoboth Summer Children’s Theatre there since 1982. Seyfried himself previously produced the Lewes Chamber Music Festival from 2002-2007. Celtic to Classical strives to create memorable and unique concert experiences, presenting music of different styles side-by-side.

Frequently appearing on the series over the years has been world-class cellist Jonah Kim. Other guest performers have included violist Jessica Chang, pianist Sean Kennard, violinist Dennis Kim, violinist Alexis Meschter, violinist Moni Simeonov, flutist Pam Pecko Smith, soprano Anne Marie Stanley, and soprano Kristin Renee Young.
