Having sold more than 2.2 million concert tickets worldwide, Celtic Woman has won a loyal audience in America, where their elaborately staged, visually stunning concert tours consistently draw sellout crowds.

The result is a breathtaking musical and theatrical experience to be enjoyed by multiple generations of listeners.
