Celtic Woman at Murat Theatre

Formed in 2004 and originally comprised of vocalists Chloë Agnew, Órla Fallon, Lisa Kelly and Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, and fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt, Celtic Woman is an all-female Irish musical ensemble  conceived and created by David Kavanagh, Sharon Browne and David Downes (former musical director of the Irish stage show Riverdance). Currently consisting of Chloë Agnew, Tara McNeill, Megan Walsh, and Muirgen O’Mahony (who joined in 2021), the group marries traditional Irish music with contemporary production values. The group was initially formed for a one-time event held in Dublin, Ireland, but after it was aired multiple times on PBS, the group’s popularity grew. To date, Celtic Woman has released eleven albums and sold over nine million records worldwide. The group has won Billboard World Album Artist of the Year six times and was nominated at the 59th Grammy Awards in the "Best World Music Album" category for the album Destiny (2016). The group’s four vocalists are accompanied on their world tours by traditional Irish instruments, such as the bodhran, tin whistle and uilleann pipes, as well as Irish bagpipers, and Irish dancers.
