A CHRISTMAS CELTIC SOJOURN
WITH BRIAN O'DONOVAN


4 Venues | 16 Shows

December 11-22, 2019


A Christmas Celtic Sojourn with Brian O’Donovan sparkles with masterful music, spellbinding stories and dazzling dancing. It evokes emotions of Christmas memories that stretch back generations. It inspires audiences throughout New England to embrace tradition, spirituality and community.

Now in its 17th year, A Christmas Celtic Sojourn returns to New England from December 11 through 22 at multiple venues around the region, including Boston, Rockport, Worcester and Providence.

A Christmas Celtic Sojourn is built around a splendid cast of performers capable of powerful expressions of love, beauty, sorrow and joy, particularly the joy of Christmas.

Music director Seamus Egan and assistant music director Maeve Gilchrist lead a cast of virtuosic musicians including Natalie Haas (cello), Chico Huff (bass) and Owen Marshall (Guitar, Bouzouki, Harmonium). Making his debut in the house band is Nashville-based percussionist Jordan Perlson

Also making her debut is acclaimed vocalist Siobhan Miller who won the 2018 BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Traditional Track, and was also nominated for Folk Singer of the Year. Siobhan is joined by powerful vocalist Matthew Byrne and they will also sing in combination with host Brian O'Donovan, his wife Lindsay O'Donovan, and Maeve Gilchrist.

The renowned fiddler Liz Carroll is joined by phenom Haley Richardson for what's guaranteed to be an exciting fiddling duo.

Maureen Berry serves as Dance Director and has arranged for Jason Oremus (former lead of Riverdance)and Ashley Smith-Wallace (All Ireland and World Champion dancer) to join for this year's run, along with the Harney Academy of Irish Dance, with their special brand of Christmas joy. They are led by dance master Liam Harney, the Academy's founder, director, and choreographer.
