The multiplatinum Celtic Woman will celebrate the holiday season with a full symphony orchestra. Showcasing music from the ensemble's second Christmas album, "Home For Christmas," and new live concert DVD, "Home for Christmas: Live from Dublin," the concert includes many holiday favorites.

Since the group's 2005 American debut on Public Broadcasting Service, Celtic Woman has emerged as a cultural phenomenon with devoted fans worldwide. The multitalented all-female ensemble has released nine albums and eight DVDs, selling more than 9 million copies of its releases, achieving platinum-level in nine countries and performing for nearly 3 million fans.
