Items
Christmas with the Celts performs a wonderful combination of timeless Irish Christmas carols and lively Irish dance with modern contemporary songs featuring Irish instrumentation. New Christmas hits, Celts originals, and fresh Irish dance tunes are added to the show each year so that no two seasons are the same!
The high-stepping spirited musical selections have audiences clapping along from the first lively renditions of popular contemporary Christmas classics such as Irish versions of “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” “White Christmas,” John Lennon’s perennial “Happy Xmas (War Is Over),” and many surprises. The show is a perfect combination of modern holiday hits, lively ancient Irish carols, hilarious spontaneous humor, thrilling Irish dancing, a children’s choir, and lush string arrangements giving audiences a most memorable interactive Christmas experience.
This year, the group introduces Irish musicians Patrick D’Arcy and Fiachra O’Regan, who have performed with Bono of U2, Sting, Quincy Jones, The Waterboys, Bill Whelan of Riverdance, and others. Also featured will be the haunting vocals of beautiful singer/fiddler Luisa Marion. Don’t miss this fun and unique way to celebrate the holiday season at Montalvo!
