By: BWW News Desk Feb. 02, 2017
Following its debut on PBS in 2005, Celtic Woman has achieved massive success encompassing twelve chart-topping albums, nine DVDs and nine public television specials leading to sales of over ten million albums, with platinum success in nine countries.
Each of the twelve CDs--including 2016's Voices of Angels--has reached #1 on Billboard's World Albums chart. The group has been named Billboard Magazine's #1 World Albums Artist six times. As a touring powerhouse, the group has performed for over four million fans across 23 countries and six continents, with an especially devoted following in America. Their shows are renowned as high quality entertainment with exceptional musical performances and stunning visual productions, enthralling audiences of all ages. Multi-platinum international music sensation Celtic Woman celebrates its newest studio album, Voices of Angels on its upcoming North American concert tour.
Voices of Angels (released November 18 on Manhattan/Caroline) debuted atop the Billboard World chart at #1 and has been riding high since its release, while the group's Destiny album--which also topped the chart upon its release--remains in the Top Ten more than 50 weeks after its release.
Destiny is currently in the running for a Grammy Award in the category of Best World Music Album; it marks the group's first-ever nomination. To celebrate the nomination, the group hosted a Facebook Live session. To view the conversation, click here.
In support of the Voices of Angels, the Celtic Woman foursome--featuring the angelic voices of Susan McFadden, Mairéad Carlin, Éabha McMahon and the breathtaking new Celtic violinist Tara McNeill--will embark on a four-month tour. Kicking off March 2 in Lakeland, FL, the 85-city trek will take Celtic Woman across the country before wrapping June 25.
Voices of Angels contains some of the most popular songs from the Celtic Woman repertoire, along with several previously unrecorded tracks, all with stunning new orchestral arrangements recorded with the 72-piece Orchestra of Ireland. Celtic Woman has a remarkable 12-year-legacy of introducing the most talented singers and musicians from Ireland onto the world stage.
