Vocal Group from Ireland Celebrates St. Patrick’s Day

CELTIC WOMAN: The most successful all-female Irish group in history brings “Postcards from Ireland” to New Brunswick’s State Theatre New Jersey Thursday, March 17.

State Theatre New Jersey presents Celtic Woman in their new show, Postcards from Ireland, on St. Patrick’s Day, Thursday, March 17 at 8 p.m.

The show celebrates Ireland’s musical and cultural heritage, and builds on the group’s 16-year legacy of introducing Irish singers and musicians to the world stage. Celtic Woman’s  repertoire is presented by four young Irish women who bring centuries of musical and cultural tradition to life through Irish classics, contemporary songs, classical favorites, and original compositions. They are accompanied by an ensemble that includes Irish dancers, bagpipers, and a full band playing an array of traditional Celtic instruments, including the bodhran, tin whistle, bouzouki, and Uilleann pipes.

Returning to the group is Chloë Agnew, an original member who began working with Celtic Woman at age 14. A soprano, she sings in English, Irish, Latin, Japanese, Italian, and German. Joining her are soprano Megan Walsh, fiddle and Irish harp maestro Tara McNeill, as well as the newest member of the group, soprano Muirgen O’Mahony.

Tickets range from $49-$99. The State Theatre New Jersey is at Livingston Avenue in New Brunswick. Visit STNJ.org.
