Mairead

mairead "Energy" and "Beauty' are the two words that Máiréad feels best describe what she strives for as a musician and as a person. A fiddle player since the age of 6, Máiréad 's Loughmore, Co.Tipperary background is steeped in music in the way that only those who grow up in a family of accomplished musicians can be.

Meav

meavMéav never imagined that music could take her this far. Ireland has changed a lot in the few years since I graduated from university she says. There was no sign of the Celtic Tiger and I presumed that music for me would simply be a passionate hobby.

Orla

orlaOrla has a saying: its a long way from Knockananna to Carnegie Hall. The singer and harpist from the tiny village in the South East of Ireland ought to know because shes made the journey.

Chloe

chloeIf 16-year old singer Chloe Agnew ever writes a book she says that shell call it From Carnegie Hall to Lunch Duty. Thats the way that my life turns anyway, she laughs. I played Carnegie Hall in New York one week with Celtic Woman and the following week I was back at school on lunch duty, cleaning off tables and mopping the floor.

Hayley The three years since the release of Hayley Westenra's debut international album "Pure" have been a whirlwind. Along with her second album "Odyssey" she has achieved combined sales of over three million albums around the world making her a household name in many countries and breaking umpteen records along the way. 'Pure' is still the fastest-selling classical album in the history of the UK charts and Hayley is also the best-selling classical artist in Japan. Probably most important of all, 'Pure' is the best-selling album of all time in New Zealand. It also made the top 10 national pop charts in 11 countries. Even more significant is that the young soprano achieved all of this before her 19th birthday.

Despite all of this success, Hayley still remains the same unaffected down-to-earth girl from Christchurch, New Zealand (where her family from Monaghan traveled on a maiden voyage from Ireland in 1848). Even though she has an incredibly busy schedule, she still finds time to dedicate a great deal of energy to her role as the youngest Unicef Ambassador in the world. Her time in Ghana inspired her to initiate her own UNICEF “Bikes For Ghana” campaign.

She also has a deep interest in music therapy and is patron of the Raukaturi Music Therapy Centre in Auckland. The Centre uses the Nordoff Robbins method in using music as therapy for children with autism and other severe physical, intellectual and emotional disabilities. Hayley has appeared on both the BBC in the UK and CNN in the US with her own news features aimed at raising awareness in the benefits of music therapy. Coincidentally, in a recent survey on music therapy by a British Medical Journal, Hayley's voice was described as having the most "calming and therapeutic quality " of all music tested (including Mozart!).  Read More About Hayley Westenra





Welcoming Our New Celtic Woman 
Méav has decided to take a full time break from touring with Celtic Woman to focus on recording a new solo album.

 

As a result of this we are very excited to introduce, our wonderful new Celtic Woman,
 

Lynn Hilary.

Lynn Hilary trained as a classical soprano at DIT College of Music in Dublin, graduating with honours in June 2004. She has been a member of the renowned choir ‘Anúna’ for 5 years, performing with them as a soloist on 'Songs of Praise', 'BBC Proms in the Park', and numerous other television appearances. With 'Anúna' she has traveled to all corners of the world and features as a soloist on many of their albums.

Lynn was the lead vocalist for 'Riverdance’ at the Special Olympics opening ceremony, performing to a live audience of over 85,000 and a television audience of millions. She has also been the lead vocalist for 'Riverdance' at the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin for a ten week run and on tour in the USA, Canada and Europe, including six consecutive full houses at Radio City Music Hall, New York. She features as a soloist on the 'Riverdance' 10th Anniversary CD and DVD. Lynn has worked with many artists such as Daniel O' Donnell, Luka Bloom, Jerry Fish and the Mudbug Club, and Don Mescall, to name but a few.


 

Lynn has already started working with the Girls readying herself for her debut performance on the 10th October 2007 in Estero, Florida, USA.

 

At this time we would like to thank Méav for her contribution to Celtic Woman over the last three years. We know Méav will be missed by Celtic Woman fans as much as she will be missed by us. We wish her every success in her solo pursuits and we look forward to working with Méav in the future.

 Thank You!

Celtic Woman is the realisation of a dream for Composer and Musical Director, David Downes and Show Producer, Sharon Browne. Together with Dave Kavanagh, Executive Producer of the Show, they created Celtic Woman to feature the very special talents of four young Irish female vocalists and a very exciting young fiddle player.The five women vocalists, Chloe, Lisa, Meav and Órla and fiddle player Mairead are led by David Downes, a prodigious young Irish talent, who has previously worked as musical director of Riverdance. Celtic Woman portrays the unique voices and styles of each of the girls as soloists as well as fantastic ensemble numbers. Performing beautiful and much-loved songs, Celtic Woman features 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", and a host of spellbinding original songs created by David Downes.Celtic Woman started life as a 90-minute show for PBS, which premiered in the US in March 2005. The show was broadcast on over 300 stations and such was its success that it was developed into a full scale touring production.The Celtic Woman CD & DVD were released through Manhattan Records (EMI) on March 1st 2005. Since its release the CD has been certified gold and the DVD has been certified platinum. The CD has also been No 1 in the Billboard World Music Chart for over 60 weeks.

"We must all become caretakers of the Earth."
---- Haida Gwaii Traditional Circle of Elders

Mother Earth is the source of all life. We should not only be concerned about the part of the Earth we live on, but we should be concerned about the parts of the Earth that other people live on. The Earth is one great whole. The trees in Brazil generate the air in the Untied States. If the trees are cut in Brazil, it affects the air that all people breathe. Every person needs to conscientiously think about how they respect the Earth. Do we dump our garbage out of the car? Do we poison the water? Do we poison the air? Am I taking on the responsibility of being a caretaker of the Earth?

Great Spirit, today, I will be aware of the Earth. I will be responsible.
