One of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia’s most important exports and a superstar in the Celtic music world (though she’s far too humble to admit it), fiddler and step-dancer Natalie MacMaster has built a sterling, multi-decade career on electrifying playing and must-see live performances.
Welcome to A Celtic Family Christmas with Natalie MacMaster, Donnell Leahy and their seven children! Join the family and stellar band as they warmly invite you in to share their music, their unique way of life and Christmas traditions still honoured and celebrated.
This show will feature some traditional and original music with the family but also special numbers with their own incredible band, as well as a few personal stories and candid moments from the MacMaster/Leahy setting. Life is never dull, especially at Christmas!
“Hearing Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy speak reverentially about the fiddle, which has propelled their dazzling careers since childhood while cementing their status as Canada’s reigning couple of Celtic music, is almost as electrifying as hearing them play it.” – National Arts Centre |
