Ceili Galante

Ceili Galante is a multi-dimensional performer, musician, and arts advocate with a deep passion for uplifting stories deserved to be told in the modern age. Their combined studies of choral music, theatre, Appalachian roots traditions, and jazz serve as the foundation for their extensive career in Richmond- whether providing harmonies for Cassidy Snider and the Wranglers, Ant the Symbol, or Shera Shi, co-creating folk punk band The Great Beforetimes, performing and arranging music for Firehouse Theatre’s Ghost Quartet, leading quartets at Gallery 5’s Jazz Nights, or hosting In Your Ear Studio’s Shockoe Sessions Live, Ceili has become a staple in the local performing arts scene. As they venture into writing music of their own, Galante invites themself and others to feel deeply, open up vulnerably, and take a deep breath.
