Last season, the collaboration between Cassandra Wilson and Liam Maonla fostered at IAC blossomed into an international tour to Dublin, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, with an ensemble of top jazz, folk and Irish musicians from both sides of the Atlantic, in a performance where their innate musicality allowed their distinct vocabularies to speak as one (Chicago Tribune).

Cherish the Ladies, the Grammy Award-nominated, Irish-American super group will share their Irish heritage and love of traditional Christmas music with the South Orange Performing Arts Center on Thursday, November 30th at 7:30PM. The all-female group was formed in 1985 under the leadership of Dr. Mick Maloney for a one-time concert series that was celebrating the rise of female artists in the male-dominated genre of Celtic music.

It is simply impossible to imagine an audience that wouldn't enjoy what they do, says the Boston Globe.
