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 Celtic Woman. Alone or united, their voices stay with you, capturing the essence of traditional and contemporary Irish music.

Celtic Woman portrays the unique voices and styles of each of the Girls as Soloists along with fantastic Ensemble numbers. Performing the most beautiful and best-loved songs in the musical repertoire, Celtic Woman's singers unique renditions of Irish songs such as: "Danny Boy," timeless classics like "Ave Maria", contemporary songs such as Enya's "Orinoco Flow" and Clannad's "Harry's Game", to a host of spellbinding original songs all with the new and exciting arrangements created by David Downes.

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.

Premiering in the United States in March, PBS will debut a spectacular hour and a half show Celtic Woman taped in front of a Dublin audience at the prestigious Helix Centre
late last year.

Celtic Woman will bring you to your feet over and over again and audiences will rise and cheer as loudly when they embark on a U.S. tour later this summer which is expected to make stops in New York, Minneapolis, Boston, Cleveland, Los Angeles and several other major cities.

In the meantime, you'll be able to gather your loved ones around during the St. Patrick Day's Festivities to watch and listen to the Celtic Woman when this concert becomes available on DVD and CD through Manhattan Records (EMI) on March 1st.
