What is ‘An Irish Christmas’?
An Irish Christmas is more than a holiday concert. It is a living celebration of Ireland’s heritage, where cultural traditions are brought to life on stage. The show combines:
Irish dance: intricate footwork, hard-shoe rhythms, and breathtaking choreography performed by champion dancers.
Live music: traditional instruments including fiddle, uilleann pipes, flute, and accordion, performed by world-class musicians.
Storytelling: timeless tales of Irish holiday customs like butter churning, the Straw Boys, and the Day of the Wren.
Song: hauntingly beautiful harmonies that capture the joy and spirit of the season.
Critics have described the production as “genuinely astonishing… electric!” and “an overwhelming success filled with glorious music, dance, and plenty of Irish soul.” Families who attend often make it part of their annual holiday tradition, returning year after year.
