Celtic Woman celebrates its 20th Anniversary with a brand-new album to celebrate this incredible milestone!
The album - features 18 brand new recordings and is the group’s first new studio album since 2021. It features new arrangements of beautiful and iconic songs, some new compositions and of course some fan favorites. Celtic Woman is comprised of four Irish women whose performing skills bring centuries of musical and cultural tradition to life. In concert, their voices and instrumental virtuosity are accompanied by a robust ensemble that includes Irish dancers, bagpipers and a full band playing an array of traditional Celtic instruments, including bodhrán, tin whistle, bouzouki and Uilleann pipes.Returning to the group is soprano Mairéad Carlin, a former member who is back for this very special event. Joining her are fellow soprano Muirgen O’Mahony, fiddle and Irish harp maestro Tara McNeill and the newest member of the group, the multi-talented Emma Warren, who has toured with Riverdance, Heartbeat of Home and most recently performed in Les Miserables, London. The album also features appearances from four very special guests - original members Lisa Kelly, Máiréad Nesbitt, Méav Ní Mhaolchatha and Chloë Agnew -- who join Celtic Woman for this Anniversary Celebration.
