Internationally renowned Celtic violinist Jamie Laval’s Christmas in Scotland performance calls on a patchwork of art forms to revive traditional Celtic celebrations of the winter solstice and Christmas. Local guitarist and banjoist David Brown and multi-instrumentalist Rosalind Buda are among Laval’s supporting lineup of Celtic-influenced artists, in addition to a Welsh harpist and a Scottish Highland dancer. The de facto variety show, which also incorporates storytelling by Laval, is presented twice at Isis Restaurant and Music Hall on Saturday, Dec. 27. The matinee showing starts at 1:30 p.m. (brunch seating available from 10 a.m.), while the evening performance begins at 8 p.m. (dinner seating available from 5 p.m.). $24 advance/$28 door/$12 children under 12. isisasheville.com.
