exciting young fiddle player. The original members will be joined by New
Zealand singing sensation Hayley Westenra (the world’s best-selling
classical artist) on their British tour.
The five women, vocalists Chloe, Lisa, Méav, Orla and fiddle player
Mairead, are led by David Downes, a prodigious young Irish talent who
has previously worked as musical director of Riverdance.
The female Irish ensemble of angelic voices have just released a brand
new studio album offering the signature Celtic Woman sound that has captured
the hearts of audiences everywhere. The repertoire is an unforgettable
collection of contemporary
