This five-woman group, featuring four vocalists and a violinist, became hugely popular after its 2006 PBS special, “A New Journey, Live At Slane Castle”, where it performed a fusion of Irish classics. The group brings its repertoire — which ranges from traditional Celtic tunes to modern songs, from “Danny Boy” to the new age Enya’s “Orinoco Flow”, plus covers of American favorites like “Over the Rainbow” — to West Palm Beach this weekend.

Referred to as “Riverdance for the voice,” the ensemble’s consistent performances have taken them on several world tours. Don’t miss these lilting harmonies, crystal clear tones and beautiful costumes.


When: 8 p.m. today and Saturday .

Where:
Alexander W. Dreyfoos Jr. Concert Hall at the Kravis Center, 701 Okeechobee Blvd., West Palm Beach.

Tickets: $25-$110

Contact: (561) 832-7469 or (800) 572-8471. www.kravis.org
