Celtic Woman
Since the dawn of Irish civilization, some ten thousand years ago, a tradition of song has greeted new dawns and celebrated life. Haunting voices over mountains, valleys and lakes carry with them ancient tales they now cherish. It would be hard to find more pure and graceful voices than those of the Celtic Woman. Alone or united, their voices stay with you, capturing the essence of traditional and contemporary Irish music.
The five-member collective known as Celtic Woman will release their debut live concert on CD & DVD thru Manhattan Records (EMI) on March 1st. The show is the realisation of a dream for Sharon Browne, Managing Director of Celtic Collections – One of Ireland's most successful independent record labels.
The women are lead by the talents of David Downes (Musical Director, Conductor, Composer and Arranger). Downes, who is a prodigious young Irish star, had previously worked as musical director of Riverdance. Celtic Woman was created to have a forum to launch the very special talents of four young Irish female vocalists: Chloё, Lisa, Méav, Órla, along with an exciting young violinist Máiréad Nesbitt.
Downes then garnered the forces of the Irish Film Orchestra, Aontas Choral Group, and a host of exciting Irish musicians including percussionists Ray Fean and Robbie Casserly to backup the vocalists and create the instrumentation behind this truly moving and inspirational show.

Since the dawn of Irish civilization, some ten thousand years ago, a tradition of song has greeted new dawns and celebrated life. Haunting voices over mountains, valleys and lakes carry with them ancient tales they now cherish. It would be hard to find more pure and graceful voices than those of the Celtic Woman. Alone or united, their voices stay with you, capturing the essence of traditional and contemporary Irish music.
Celtic Woman showcases the very special talents of four young Irish female vocalists: Chloë Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Méav Ní Mhaolchatha and Órlagh Fallon, along with an exciting young violinist Máiréad Nesbitt. Musical Director David Downes garnered the forces of the Irish Film Orchestra, Aontas Choral Group, and a host of exciting Irish musicians including percussionists Ray Fean and Robbie Casserly to backup the vocalists and create the instrumentation behind this truly moving and inspirational show.
Performing the most beautiful and best-loved songs in the musical repertoire, Celtic Woman's singers put a new spin on such timeless Irish classics such as "Danny Boy" and "Ave Maria" to more contemporary songs such as Enya's "Orinoco Flow" and Clannad's "Harry's Game."
Sharon Browne and David Downes brought these great performers together, and with a dream to take them to the world stage, created CELTIC WOMAN.
Chlöe, only 15 years old, delights with angelic performances of Walking in the Air, Ave Maria, Nella Fantasia and Someday.
Lisa's stunning performances of Send Me A Song and May It Be from the Lord of the Rings will seduce you while her smile captures your heart.
Méav thrills with her pure soaring soprano voice in unique arrangements of Danny Boy and She Moved Thru' the Fair.
Órla's haunting rendition of Harry's Game, beautifully compliments her pristine Irish Harp accompaniments in The Isle of Inisfree and Ave Maria.
Máiréad - what can you say? She is simply one of the most exciting violinists performing today. You will witness the most graceful whirlwind you can imagine!
