    Now entering is 9th year of sold out concerts around New England, A Christmas Celtic Sojourn is again returning to Boston.


    National broadcasts of the Christmas edition of O’Donovan’s radio program, A Celtic Sojourn over the past 25 years have proven extraordinarily popular. Celtic Pagan and Christian traditions have a very strong link to the music of this season.


    This year’s performances will feature a wide variety of singers, musicians and dancers steeped in Celtic tradition, and in many cases many other influences as well. The cast will include Ruth Moody, the wonderful Canadian singer who is part of the trio The Waylin’ Jennys, now such a staple on Garrison Keillor’s Prairie Home Companion. Hanneke Cassel, such a hit in the 2010 iteration of the concert, has re-assembled the group Halali, along with Laura Cortese, Lissa Schneckenburger and guitarist extraordinaire Flynn Cohen.

    Simon Chrisman who is part of the rising star lineup of The Bee Eaters is also bringing a new instrument to the stage in the Hammer Dulcimer, and the Uilleann Pipes will be featured for the first time courtesy of Kieran O’Hare.

    A whole new selection of dancers is also being assemble especially for the show Multi-instrumentalist Seamus Egan of Solas will again be back on stage and, and again in his role as music director. He will be joined by long time collaborators Chico Huff on acoustic bass, and new to Christmas Celtic this year, percussionist Ben Wittman. And then of course, there are the surprises! We are always working on surprises.



    Artistically directed by Paula Plum, this promises to be one of the most exciting Christmas Celtic Sojourns concerts yet.
