Four years ago Celtic Woman traveled from Ireland to America and captivated millions with their

Fans have the opportunity to experience Celtic Woman’s most magical production yet, featuring brand - new renditions of “Fields of Gold” and “Have I Told You Lately That I Love You,” as well as an original anthem by Brendan Graham, writer of “You Raise Me Up.” Musical Director David Downes has composed stunning new music for the 19- member ensemble featuring the wonderful voices of Celtic Woman and the energetic musical inventiveness of Celtic violinist, Mairead.

The show will also feature cornerstone favorites such as “The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun,” “Danny Boy,” and “Spanish Lady,” among others.

Celtic Woman has been winning over audiences worldwide with their heavenly renditions of Irish
standards, classical favorites and contemporary hits. In just four short years, the group has sold more than 4 million CDs and DVDs, played seven US tours, and performed for more than 800,000 people. Meanwhile, the three Celtic Woman PBS Specials have aired more than 13,658 times on 342 PBS stations across the country, covering 97% of US television households.

Celtic Woman’s Isle of Hope tour has received accolades from the media. The Grand Rapids Press
praised the “heavenly, angelic voices that floated through every song,” while Westwood One declared the concert “a stunning performance” and the St. Paul Pioneer Press heralded “one of the new tracks, ‘Oh, America,’ sounds like it could become a Celtic Woman standard.”
