Celtic Women Concert Tickets

Celtic Women have experienced an almost meteoric rise to fame. 2008 has been a whirlwind adventure for them, finding them touring all over the world. With one hundred and thirty five shows, including appearances in Japan, Chine, Germany, the United States, Switzerland, Austria, and the Netherlands, this group has seen a surge in ticket sales. If you want to enjoy a life performance of this group, you will have to get your tickets well in advance. Tickets for US performances went on sale on December 15th, with performances available all across the United States beginning on February 13th. Tour dates are available in the US all the way through July. If you want tickets, you’d better get them quickly. You may find them at a location nearest to you.

In addition to 135 performances, it’s almost impossible to believe that this group has also managed to record and release a new CD, “Celtic Woman: The Greatest Journey Essential Collection”. This CD is available in DVD or CD, and there is also a Celtic Family Christmas CD, which features the High Kings.

The sound that this group brings has a unique quality that can’t be found in many other places, and therefore offers a worldwide appeal. Celtic Women is directed by arranger and composer David Downes. A graduate of Trinity College in Dublin, he studied music and composition in the country where the Celtic sound originates. He brings famous performing appearances to his resume, and has worked with many famous soloists.

So, how did this journey begin? In 2004, Celtic Woman was a near instant success. With their self titled debut, the Christmas CD “A Christmas Celebration” and “A New Journey”, Celtic Woman has held the highest honor on the Billboard World Music Charts: number one for a record breaker of 95 weeks. Consecutive weeks – which means no one knocked them out of place for nearly two years! The CD’s have gone platinum in both the United States and South Africa, and if that isn’t enough, they have gone Gold in both Australia and Japan. This is a small sample of how much the group has appeal to many cultures.

Celtic Woman embodies two thousand years of tradition, since the Celts arrived in Ireland. The songs this group sing have became the poetry that celebrated life and dripped with sorrows. They embody who we have become as a people. This is what this group has come to mean to the Country of Ireland.

This group consists of five talents that make the group a success. Four singers, and one fiddle player were originally brought together for the first recording. Whether singing alone or together, these singers bring the music from the Irish shores to life. Working under the direction of David Downes, these singers offer a musical gift to the world.

Singers include 15 year old Chloe Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Orlagh Fallon (who also plays the Irish harp), and the violinist Mairead Nesbitt. These singers don’t simply sing, but bring dance and interpretation of the music to life.

Once you’ve purchased your ticket to this show, be prepared to experience a dazzling performance. The stage will come alive with birch trees, stones and a bridge and river that tumble off the stage. The effects include a light show that highlights the singers’ performances perfectly. Huge white sails and landscape effects bring the music to life. Make sure to experience this show – you will be amazed.
