Singers Mairéad Carlin, Éabha McMahon and Megan Walsh and fiddler Tara McNeill will perform timeless songs of the season accompanied by the full symphony. Combining their crystalline voices – “angels probably do sound like this,” said one reviewer – with the splendor of the orchestra will make for a magical evening. Celtic Woman debuted at a 2004 concert in Dublin, Ireland. A 2005 PBS broadcast of that performance helped push the group’s first CD, “Celtic Woman,” to the top spot on the Billboard World Albums chart for 86 weeks. The Riley Center show will feature favorites from the ensemble’s much-loved holiday releases, including the platinum-selling “A Christmas Celebration” and “Home for Christmas,” plus a few Celtic twists. Bring the entire family for a seasonal treat full of magnificent musicianship and joy. For fans of: Loreena McKennitt, Enya, Riverdance Tickets are $100 for VIP seats, $75 for A seats and $65 for B seats at the MSU Riley Center Box Office, which is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and one hour before showtime.

  • Mohawk Valley Irish Cultural
    MOHAWK VALLEY IRISH CULTURAL Volume 14, Issue 6 EVENTS NEWSLETTER June 2017 Celebrate Joyce’s Legacy on Varick Street on “Bloomsday” The city of Utica will be transformed into Dublin for one day on Saturday, June 17, as the Utica NY Area Irish Coalition will present its first “Bloomsday” Celebration with a pub crawl visiting seven stops along Varick Street in the city’s brewery district. In James Joyce’s monumental classic “Ulysses,” (often cited as the greatest English-language novel of all time) June 16 is the date that the book’s protagonist, Leopold Bloom, undertakes his one day sojourn through the streets of Dublin. Since the first two-man Bloomsday celebration in 1954, that date (or as near as practicable) continues to be celebrated in countries as far-ranging as Hungary, Italy, Australia and the Czech Republic, with a range of cultural activities including readings and dramatizations of scenes from the novel (as well as the responsible partaking of adult beverages). The UNYAIC event will start at noon with a brief gathering at Utica Brews, located at 809 Court St., Utica, and will proceed, in order, to the Saranac Brewery, Nail Creek Pub, the new Irish Cultural Building site, O’Donnell’s, The Sanctuary, and will finish at 5 PM at the Celtic Harp. Each stop will feature short readings from the book and live Irish music, and food and drinks will be available for purchase. Participants will receive a special commemorative T-shirt and will also get a passport stamped at each stop to be eligible for prize drawings at the end of the crawl.

Destiny CD/DVD (Manhattan Records) is Celtic Woman’s tenth CD and first of all-new material since 2011’s Believe.
