ABAC Presents! series will feature Voices of Ireland with acclaimed Irish singer and songwriter Chloe Agnew on Tuesday, November 12.
Agnew gained fame for her integral part as one of the original and youngest members of the internationally acclaimed music group Celtic Woman. Born in Dublin, Ireland Agnew recorded her first album at the age of 12 and her second at the age of 14 when she was approached to join Celtic Woman.
She has been featured on 14 Celtic Woman albums, with songs recorded in English, Gaelic, Latin, Japanese, Italian and German. The albums have sold more than eight million copies worldwide, all of which debuted at number one on Billboard’s World Music chart.
“’Voices of Ireland’ is an enchanted evening of the music of the Emerald Isle,” said Arts Connection Director Wayne Jones. “We are thrilled to feature Ms. Agnew along with the ABAC Concert Band and Concert Choir in an evening of sublime music which is sure to inspire.”
The ABAC Presents! series will continue in 2025 with Paragon Ragtime Orchestra on February 18, the Atlanta Shakespeare Company’s performance of “Romeo and Juliet” on March 11, and the season will end with a jazz concert on April 17 featuring trombonist Robert Edwards and jazz vocalist Vanessa Perea performing with the ABAC Jazz Ensemble.
