A Celtic Family Christmas with Natalie MacMaster, Donell Leahy and family
The Family Xmas show of the Year coming to Alberta in November!
Juno Award winning fiddle virtuosos Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy are hitting the road again to bring back their successful concert series, A Celtic Family Christmas. This intimate and unique show sold out everywhere prior to the pandemic and it will see the duo perform with their incredibly talented children playing Celtic and holiday favourites that are fun for the entire family.
“Christmas is where the whole concept started, and we are very excited to be travelling as a family again” says Donnell Leahy. “It’s a perfect time to travel with the children and bring light and happiness to families and fans across the country.”
This year, A Celtic Family Christmas, which contains a soon to be revealed theatrical element that will thrillingly traverse time and continents while contextualizing the music and its players, will touch down at marquee venues across Canada including Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium and Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, confirms the duo as a powerhouse on the seasonal circuit and is a perfect way to put yourself and your own family in the Christmas spirit. With a lineup of familiar Christmas songs intermingled with classic Celtic songs sure to warm your heart, A Celtic Family Christmas brings you in the door, and welcomes you in as part of the family.
The accomplished duo has toured extensively over the years both together and separately, selling out venues across the continent. To fans of fiddle music, Natalie MacMaster needs no introduction. The Order of Canada recipient has released 11 albums, won two Juno Awards, 11 East Coast Music Awards and is a Grammy Award nominee. She has collaborated with Yo-Yo Ma, Jesse Cook, Allison Kraus, Johnny Reid and many many more.
Donnell Leahy is a 3 time Juno Award winner, with internationally acclaimed music/dance group Leahy. He is widely recognized as one of the best Celtic fiddlers in the world and is widely known for his high energy playing style.
