Named the Top World Music Artist by Billboard magazine, the group has been winning over audiences ever since, performing renditions of Irish standards, classical favorites and contemporary hits. The 19-member ensemble, featuring vocalists Chloë Agnew, Lynn Hilary, Lisa Kelly and Alex Sharpe, and Celtic violinist Máiréad Nesbitt, has sold more than 4 million CDs and DVDs. It has played seven U.S. tours and performed for more than 800,000 fans. The group has appeared on several national television shows, including "Live with Regis and Kelly," "Martha Stewart" and the "CBS Early Show," and has been the subject of three PBS specials. The Nov. 7 performance will feature new renditions of "Fields of Gold" and "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You," as well as an original anthem by Brendan Graham, writer of "You Raise Me Up." Fans will also get to hear new songs by musical director David Downes, and such cornerstone favorites as "The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun," "Danny Boy" and "Spanish Lady."
