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.
