Beautiful Irish holiday customs come to life in this very Gaelic celebration, blending traditional music and masterful Irish dancing. Original tunes and holiday favorites — "The Holly Tree," "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," "Do you Hear What I Hear," and many others — evoke the anticipatory delight of Christmas Eve, the peace of Christmas morning, and even the raucous exuberance of Boxing Day, complete with fiddles, pipes, and whistles.
Leading the way is Eileen Ivers. Playing Irish traditional music since the age of eight, Eileen Ivers is one of the world's most decorated fiddlers, winner of more than 30 prestigious championships.
