Celtic Woman brings sounds of Ireland to Missouri

For those of you who didn't get enough Irish on St. Patrick's Day, The Fox Theatre in St. Louis hosts "Celtic Woman" Friday and Saturday.

Four Irish female singers and one fiddle player sing and perform together and as solo artists in this 2-hour concert. Celtic Woman has revamped the show into "A New Journey," featuring old favorites like "Lascia Ch'io Pianga" and "Vivaldi's Rain" as well as throwing contemporary Irish songs into the mix like "Beyond the Sea," "Over the Rainbow" and "Scarborough Fair," along with Irish staples like "Danny Boy" and "Mo Ghile Mear."

The performers don't all have red hair, but they're authentic Irish, and they've all got great talent. Celtic Woman goes from slow and soulful to perky and upbeat quicker than the audience can think.

Celtic Woman was started in 2004 by composer and musical director David Downes and executive producer Dave Kavanagh.

Downes still writes and composes most of the music for the women to perform and matches each one's vocal talents and stylings to Irish chanties.

Showtime is 8 p.m. both days. Tickets are $67.50 to $47.50.
