Canada's first family of Celtic music, The Barra MacNeils, launch the 2023 coast-to-coast tour of their beloved festive experience in BC—and conclude it in their native Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.
Steeped in Atlantic tradition with strong Celtic roots and musical artistry, this diversely talented group of four brothers and one sister sells out shows around the world and is widely regarded as one of the greatest live acts in the Celtic world. Their captivating vocals, harmonies, and extraordinary musicianship are famously featured in their Christmas TV specials which continue to be broadcast on CMT and PBS TV stations. Their numerous critically acclaimed recordings have included their own original songs as well as tried and true standards, both instrumental and vocal. They are 5-time East Coast Music Award winners, and among the many icons they have performed with, they have been the opening act for Celine Dion.
A universal favourite, The Barra MacNeils’ East Coast Christmas is a treat for all ages and walks of life. The five siblings are known for their brilliant instrumentals, ringing harmonies, and delightful flair for storytelling. Their unique seasonal show is crafted each year to bring a special Celtic spin on traditional favourites and original east coast treasures with songs, stories, and dance. Their stunning rendition of "O Holy Night" is just one of the many highlights that brings audiences to their feet. Fans look forward to musical gems like "Ave Maria," "Christmas in Killarney," and "Auld Lang Syne" among an array of seasonal delights and originals.
Appearing with the Barra MacNeils will be CeltFest Vancouver Island favourites: among them, master piper René Cusson, plus a dynamic Highland/traditional dance troupe.
Nothing says Christmas like this heartwarming family concert! An uplifting collection of soulful seasonal favourites- and so much more - this show is sure to be a hit with your family, friends or co-workers. Whether this is your first, or your umpteenth Barra MacNeils live concert experience, it is sure to leave you joyous memories that will last beyond the season.
