Deemed a “phenomenon” by the Boston Globe,
the group continues to enchant fans live - moving seamlessly between
Irish classics, contemporary covers and original compositions. During
the 2010 "Songs from the Heart" tour,
fans have the opportunity to experience Celtic Woman's most dazzling
production yet, featuring renditions of "Amazing Grace,"
Jimmy Webb's "The Moon's a Harsh Mistress," Andrew Lloyd
Weber's "Pie Jesu," Billy Joel's "Goodnight My Angel,"
and Irish classics "My Lagan Love," "Galway Bay,"
as well as a new favorite "Níl Sé'n Lá."
On the Songs from the Heart, musical
director David Downes beautifully captures the pure essence of Celtic
Woman showcasing the celestial sounds of vocalists Lisa Kelly, Chloë
Agnew, Lynn Hilary and Alex Sharpe along with the dynamic inventiveness
of Celtic Violinist Máiréad Nesbitt. The CD features
studio recorded versions of songs performed during their PBS TV
Special “Songs from the Heart- Live at Powerscourt
House & Gardens.” The TV special began airing
Nov 28th on PBS stations around the country as part of the network’s
quarterly pledge drive and has immediately yielded outstanding viewership
results.
Filmed live in HD in the lush Irish country setting of the majestic
Powerscourt House & Gardens, the TV special can be enjoyed on
the companion live DVD - Songs from the Heart.
Celtic Woman’s last four PBS TV specials have aired close
to 14,000 times on 685 PBS stations across the country. Songs
from the Heart marks the group’s 5th PBS TV
special.
In only four years, Celtic Woman has had CDs and DVDs sales topping
four million, played nine U.S. tours, and performed for almost a
million people. They recently performed at the National Christmas
Tree Lighting in Washington D.C. joining entertainers like Sheryl
Crow, Common, Jordin Sparks and Ray LaMontagne. As a testament to
the group’s ability to cross musical and cultural boundaries,
Celtic Woman were invited to perform on ABC’s Dancing
With The Stars singing for 23 million viewers.
A true celebration of Ireland with an unforgettable signature style,
don’t miss an “evening of spectacular entertainment”
(Kalamazoo Gazette) when Celtic Woman performs live in
concert. |
