Ray has five CD recordings to her credit, the most recent, “Strings of Gold”, received rave reviews from several publishers including “CD Reviews” and “Folkmagazine” in Germany. Celeste’s performances on double Bowed Psaltery are of the highest technical caliber and her passion to bring the Bowed Psaltery to the public eye through educational workshops and performance remains unmatched on the Celtic stage.

Celeste's vocals are also a big part of her signature sound. She has performed at Carnegie Hall in New York under the direction of famed composer John Rutter, WESAK festivals in California, Government House in Brisbane, Australia and as guest artist for Pete Seeger’s reception in New York City. Commissioned to co-compose a musical in Australia, she also performed live on national ABC.

Celeste Ray's third album "Celtic Blessings," was made possible by a grant received from the Arts Alliance of Ventura County. The Los Angeles Times describes her third CD as "a sound at once fresh and other-worldly... her distinct calling card is her skill with the relatively obscure bowed psaltery and her voice is a warm and pleasant instrument."  
Inspired by ancient Celtic poems, “Celtic Blessings” reflects both original and traditional melodies illuminating the Celtic heart and soul. Her journeys throughout the UK and Ireland provided a wellspring of sacred sources for her imagination to draw upon.

Ms. Ray's first internationally released CD, "Place With a View," features a lineup of impressive guest artists including Steve Kujala (Chick Corea) and Alex Acuna (Weather Report). Ms. Ray plays piano, handles all the writing, and introduces her unique vocal style, which impressed long time mentor Paul McCandless. "Celeste's melodic compositions, and especially her vocals, give the music a sound which is instantly identifiable..I am impressed!" said McCandless.  
 
Paul McCandless is featured on "The Gateway," Celeste's second internationally released CD inspired by Arthurian and Celtic legends and was chosen for the European CD sampler "Keltia," and has received outstanding reviews in international publications, including New Age and New Sounds.  

Ray relocated to New York City in early 2002, conducted a tour to Arizona with her quartet and step dancers, and received two consecutive grants from NYSCA to produce and perform with her ensemble, "A Celtic Concert Series" focusing on the performance and history of the ancient Bowed Psaltery and Harmonium.
