WGBH’s A Christmas Celtic Sojourn with Brian O’Donovan is an intimate sharing of Christmas music, songs, dancing, poetry and stories to warm the winter nights. 

Last year the concert received rave reviews.  It played to sold out houses of more than 4,000. 

Like all cherished traditions, this year's celebration includes several beloved performers and a few who are new. 

It features the singing of Robbie O’Connell joined by fiddler George Keith and flute player Shannon Heaton; singer Karan Casey with her band including Niall Valelly, Robbie Overson, and Chico Huff; and the three-person vocal harmony group Navan, who have become a beautiful audio centerpiece of the Concert. 

New this year, the incredibly talented Mulcahy Family, from Abbeyfeale in County Limerick, have accepted Brian’s invitation to join in the festivities.  Mick Mulcahy is himself a much respected accordion player from an area of Ireland steeped in traditional music.  His daughters Louise and Michelle are two of the most talented and diverse traditional instrumentalists in Ireland today.  Their high level virtuosity includes flute, whistle, concertina, harp, piano, uileann pipes, accordion and of course, fiddle. 

Dance director Kieran Jordan is once again preparing an extravaganza featuring the old and the new sides of the thriving dance traditions of Ireland and beyond. Fionnuala O’Donovan and Lindsay O’Donovan will rejoin host Brian O’Donovan. 

"The Cutler Majestic Theatre is just spectacular and last year succeeded in providing the homey atmosphere so crucial to what we present,” said O’Donovan recently.  "We can’t wait to be back.” 

Last year sold out early so buy tickets early to be sure and join in the fun!
