For those of you who are unfamiliar with IONA, here is a summary of IONA's history and musical style from their website www.iona.uk.com

"Formed in 1989, IONA takes their name from the small island off the west coast of Scotland. From the beginning, their aim has been to write spiritual, atmospheric, yet uplifting music that would stir the emotions, weaving complex patterns that echo the intricate knot work of the great Celtic artists. Often inspired by the great figures of the Celtic Golden Age such as Columba, Aidan, Brendan and Patrick, IONA's music is as timeless as the message that reaches out to us across the centuries. Uniquely combining rock / folk / progressive / ethnic and ambient elements with the crystalline voice of Joanne Hogg as their focus, IONA creates a blaze of colours and textures...all the sounds fusing into a single, yearning, heartfelt beautiful cry."

IONA released their newest CD, Another Realm just this year. Here is a YouTube video describing the project:



Another Realm taps into current themes of God's glory, revival, and the outpouring of Holy Spirit; and we anticipate the release of the same through their live music. Much of their music ties into the vision behind our recent event, Revival Then and Now. In similar fashion, the IONA concert has tremendous potential to bring people of diverse backgrounds together to experience the presence of the Lord in the unity of the Holy Spirit.

IONA's musical talent is widely recognized by both mainstream media and Christian music reviewers. The concert offers a unique opportunity to invite people who just enjoy great music! We plan to promote the concert widely to all audiences.
