Natalie MacMaster & Donnell Leahy and Frances Morton

Celtic superstars NATALIE MACMASTER AND DONNELL LEAHY return to the world stage for the first time since their marriage in 2000. With three gold albums to her credit, Natalie is a two-time JUNO Award winner and Order of Canada inductee. Combined with the the energy and incredible stage presence of Donnell Leahy - whose leadership earned his acclaimed Celtic family-band, Leahy, double-platinum status, three JUNO Awards, and an Academy Award - the duo are one of the most exhilarating in Celtic music.

With careers that include collaborations with Yo-Yo Ma, Allison Krauss, and The Chieftains, this powerhouse couple has sold out over 1,000 shows in North America and remains a must-see act.

FRANCES MORTON, a celebrated Glasgow-born flutist with Irish roots, debuts her solo album Sliocht at Celtic Connections. Accompanied by Eamon McElholm, Ciarán Tourish, and guest sean-nós singer Doimnic Mac Giolla Bhríde, the concert will feature jigs, reels, and strathspeys, highlighting the vibrant musical ties between Scotland and Ireland.
