In a stellar collaboration, Irish chanteuse Maura O’Connell appears with the all-female Celtic ensemble Cherish the Ladies, led by Grammy Award-winner Joanie Madden. Cherish the Ladies lays claim to a breathtaking mastery of the genre and a no-holds-barred exuberance that has led the ensemble’s members to become some of the most sought-after practitioners of Celtic music today. Celebrated for her prowess in immersing herself—heart and soul—into her repertoire, O’Connell melds the tradition of her ancestry with influences culled from her life in America. They are joined by singer-songwriter Dermot Henry and the duo bohola—performers who have earned the highest accolades from Celtic music lovers everywhere. Add to this glorious mix an all-star ensemble of dancers from The Chieftains and the cast of Riverdance and you have Irish high spirits and merry-making that you won’t want to miss!
