A Celtic Family Christmas with Mary Frances
Get ready for the brand-new Celtic Family Christmas… PARTY! At the NAC, we’re sharing the Christmas spirit with the entire city! This season, the well-loved fiddle-playing MacMaster Leahy family is bringing light and happiness to families and fans across the country. You’ll have plenty of time to sip eggnog by the fire, but not on this night… So, buckle up and join Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy, their growing family, and their world-class band as they guide you through an exhilarating exploration of the Christmas season. Featuring exciting new versions of all your classic Christmas favourites, Natalie and Donnell are determined to raise the roof, rejuvenate the heart, and set your spirit ablaze with a most lively Celtic Family Christmas PARTY! In the early 2000s, they balanced raising seven musically gifted children, running a farm, and performing over 75 shows a year. Now, with their children in their teens, Natalie and Donnell are back with their electrifying live performances. Natalie, inducted into the Order of Canada in 2006, has won two Juno Awards, 19 East Coast Music Awards, and released three Gold Albums. Donnell, known for his incredible stage presence, led the family band Leahy to Double Platinum status, won three Juno Awards, and starred in the documentary The Leahys: Music Most of All. Together, they’ve sold out over 1000 shows in North America and collaborated with stars like Yo-Yo Ma, Michael McDonald, Alison Krauss, and Nickelback. Despite their busy schedules, Natalie and Donnell remain must-see live performers, continuing their tireless touring.
