BergenPAC presents The Chieftains 3/16

The Chieftains perform Fri., March 16, 2018 at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling bergenPAC's Box Office at (201) 227-1030.

Six-time Grammy Award winners The Chieftains are recognized for reinventing traditional Irish music on a contemporary and International scale. The group was formed in Ireland in 1962 by Paddy Moloney, one of the top traditional folk musicians in Ireland and around the world. After more than 55 years of making some of the most beautiful music in the world, The Chieftains' music remains as fresh and relevant as when they first began.

As cultural ambassadors, their performances have been linked with seminal historic events, such as being the first Western musicians to perform on the Great Wall of China, participating in Roger Water's "The Wall" performance in Berlin in 1990 and being the first ensemble to perform a concert in the Capitol Building in Washington DC.
