Even when parts of a Celtic Woman concert seem too familiar to previous ones, it is hard to dislike the show.

Part of that is the tremendous voices the lasses have, but an equal part is the sense of showmanship musical director David Downes puts on the show. He and the quintet of singers know how to put a show together.

At a packed Benedum Center, Downtown, on March 3, Celtic Woman opened two nights of shows that moved smoothly from pop songs like Phil Collins' "True Colors" to Celtic classics such as "Last Rose of Summer" and "Londonderry Air" to Gaellic rousers such as "Dulaman" and "Mo Ghile Mear."

They gave the show, with its six-piece band and seven backup singers, a steady procession of sharply performed songs. But when the five stars ended the show with the uplifting "Sing Out" and then "You Raise Me Up," it was hard, if not impossible, to avoid a standing ovation.

The individual work of new member Lynn Hilary and Lisa Kelly was exceptional, but, as usual, the best moments of Celtic Woman came in ensemble songs.

Don: Do you know if the song "The Last Rose of Summer" is sung in it's entirety? Beautiful song but usually performances don't include the entire number but rather only a few bars.

Ah, good to hear! That's one song that is beautiful whether it's sung or simply done as an instrumental, assuming it's arranged well.
Thanks for letting me know.
