Released in
February, EMERALD: MUSICAL GEMS (Manhattan Records),
debuted at #1 on the Billboard World Music Charts, marking
their 8th record to debut at the #1 spot and held the top position for seven
consecutive weeks. The group's nine CDs and eight DVDs have
become multi-platinum best-sellers, making Celtic Woman the
only all-female group to achieve multi-platinum success in the classical
crossover/world music genres over the past decade. The companion
DVD, EMERALD: Musical Gems - Live in Concert, was
filmed on the doorstep of the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana
and was seen across the country during spring Public Television pledge
drives.

Woman's recent TODAY Show performance showcasing a medley of

Celtic Woman’s
elaborate new show spotlights reimagined performances of fan favorites from the
group’s treasure chest of Celtic songs. A celebration of the Emerald Isles’
rich musical heritage, The Emerald Tour features songs from the
EMERALD: MUSICAL GEMS CD/DVD, including the uplifting
“Mo Ghile Mear,” the enchanting “Caladonia” and the ever-haunting “Danny Boy”
and “The Voice.” Also featured are new interpretations of the beloved “Amazing
Grace” and “You Raise Me Up.”
Named Celtic
Woman in order to represent the essence of a Celtic female performer, the
group’s 2014 tour features four sublimely gifted Irish women – vocalists Susan
McFadden, Lynn Hilary and newest member Mairéad Carlin along with Celtic
violinist Máiréad Nesbitt. The lineup of performers has rotated since the group
began, but the signature sound of Celtic Woman has never
changed.
During
The Emerald Tour, Celtic Woman’s angelic voices and violin
virtuosity will be joined by world class musicians, the Aontas Choir, bagpipers
and championship Irish dancers, all under the direction of Emmy®-nominated music
producer David Downes, former music director for Irish stage show
Riverdance.
"Creating the
new show allowed me the opportunity to revisit and re-imagine some of our most
popular Irish songs, as well as writing some exciting new material for the
show,” said Downes. “With all-new performances of these great
songs—Emerald has created a whole new experience for both our
longstanding fans, and for those who have just discovered our music. This is
a Celtic Woman experience that will soothe the soul and have you
dancing in the aisles!”
Recently named
Billboard Magazine's #1 World Albums Artist of the Year for the fifth
time, the multitalented ensemble has sold more than eight million copies of its
releases, all of which have debuted at #1 on Billboard's World Music
chart. They have performed for three U.S. Presidents and made high-profile
appearances on Dancing with the Stars and the daytime drama The
Bold and the Beautiful. As a live act, Celtic Woman continues to sell out
concert halls around the world, having performed for nearly three million
fans.
