Celtic Woman Appearing at Honeywell Center

WABASH, IN – Irish music sensation Celtic Woman presents DESTINY, an enchanting new show and world concert tour on Sat., March 19, 2016, with two performances; 3 p.m. and again at 7:30 p.m. Corporate sponsorship for this performance is provided by Beacon Credit Union.  
     The release of Celtic Woman’s newest album, DESTINY, debuted #1 on Billboard’s World Music Chart in January. The release marks their 9th record to debut at the #1 spot in their decade-long career and continues to hold the #1 slot for a 2^nd straight week.
     The heart of Ireland beats strongly throughout the ​tour featuring​ an entirely new production ​showcasing vocalists Mairéad Carlin, Susan McFadden and newest member Éabha McMahon along with Celtic violinist and founding member Máiréad Nesbitt, accompanied by a group equally talented musicians and dancers whose exceptional skills and high energy bring a fresh fusion to centuries of musical and cultural tradition.
     DESTINY is Celtic Woman’s 10th CD and first of all-new material since 2011’s Believe.  DESTINY features a fresh fusion of traditional Irish music and modern songcraft, including the Waterboys’ classic “The Whole of the Moon,” Ed Sheeran’s “I See Fire,” from The Hobbit film, Mutt Lange’s “Walk Beside Me” and the popular video game ​ theme, "Skyrim."  ​As Ireland commemorates the events of 100 years ago that led to its nation’s independence, Celtic Woman offers a rousing version of “Óró sé do bheatha ‘bhaile,” an anthem closely connected with the 1916 uprising. The all-female ensemble also delivers timeless traditional Irish songs such as “Bean Pháidín” and "Siúil A Run" highlighting the beauty of Ireland’s heritage and its Gaelic language plus audience favorites “Amazing Grace” and “You Raise Me Up.”
