September 8, 2016The Troy Savings Bank Music Hall Announces New Show: Cherish the Ladies Celtic Christmas
Bring the family and celebrate the season at the Hall with Cherish the Ladies, Celtic Christmas, on Thursday, December 15, 7:30 PM.
One of the most engaging and successful ensembles in the history of Celtic music, Cherish The Ladies have shared timeless Irish traditions with audiences worldwide for over thirty years. In their Celtic Christmas program, the Ladies put their signature mark on classic carols such as “O Come All Ye Faithful” and “Silent Night,” in arrangements that highlight the group’s unique Celtic instrumentation, beautiful harmonies, and spectacular step dancing. Hailed by The New York Times as “passionate, tender and rambunctious,” Cherish The Ladies have released three critically acclaimed holiday albums, On Christmas Night, A Star In The East, and 2015’s Christmas In Ireland.
Cherish the Ladies is under the leadership of the dynamic and irrepressible flute and whistle champion Joanie Madden. Her band, including Mary Coogan on guitar, mandolin and banjo, Mirella Murray on piano accordion, Grainne Murphy on fiddle, and Kathleen Boyle on piano, create an evening that includes a spectacular blend of virtuoso instrumental talents, beautiful vocals, captivating arrangements, and stunning step dancing. Their continued success as one of the top Celtic groups in the world is due to the ensembles ability to take the best of Irish traditional music and dance and put it forth in an immensely entertaining package.
The Washington Post praises their “astonishing array of virtuosity”, and the Hall is thrilled to welcome them back to our stage.
