"These women do it all four Celtic Seasons CD spotlights Four Celtic Voices' range of repetoire! Audience favorites include Will Ye Go Lassies Go, Loch Lomond and The Isle of Innsifree. These ladies do it all from providing their own accompaniment to lifting their voices in a sweet harmony that is bold and vibrant in character. Four Celtic Voices provides much more than four voices on stage- they bring life and magic to the music that elevates the senses."
-Bill Wilson, Director, Morganton Municipal Auditorium
Their voices are beautiful, their instrumental creations are wonderful, connecting so effortlessly with the audience.
