The shows will feature a selection of fan favorites, encompassing Irish classics, gospel standards, classical favorites and contemporary material alongside memorable original compositions, bridging the past and present with the distinctive grace and style for which CELTIC WOMAN has become known.

In addition to its success in America, CELTIC WOMAN has achieved platinum-level sales in eight other countries.

In the U.S., each of CELTIC WOMAN'S nine CDs - the most recent being 2013's Emerald Musical Gems - has debuted at #1 on Billboard's World Album chart, where the group has occupied the top slot for a record-breaking 112 consecutive weeks.
