Multi-platinum international music sensation Celtic Woman’s latest studio album VOICES OF ANGELS (released November 18 on Manhattan/Caroline) remains atop the Billboard World chart at #1, while the group’s DESTINY album–which also topped the chart upon its release–remains in the Top Ten at #9 more than 49 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 84 city trek will take Celtic Woman across the country before wrapping June 25 in Lynn, MA.
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.
