Danú's 20th Anniversary - Touring 14-15

Hailing from historic County Waterford, Danú is one of the leading traditional Irish ensembles of today. Recognized the world over for their standing room only appearances, their concerts are true events featuring high-energy performances and a glorious mix of ancient Irish music and new repertoire. The 2014-2015 season marks this extraordinary ensemble’s 20th anniversary and the March 2015 American tour/ celebration will include two heralded former members of the ensemble. With the addition of these two guests, the band grows to eight players- and the dramatic sound and vibrancy of the performance increases exponentially.

For two decades, Danú’s virtuosi players on flute, tin whistle, fiddle, button accordion, bouzouki, and vocals (Irish and English), have performed around the globe and recorded nine critically acclaimed albums. Their live DVD, One Night Stand, was filmed at Vicar St. Dublin. Winners of numerous awards from the BBC and Irish Music Magazine, Danú has toured throughout the United Kingdom, Europe, the Middle East, and North America with stops at venues such as The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Cal Performances, Stanford, the Krannert Center, Notre Dame, and Symphony Space in New York City. Danú’s popular recordings are available on the Shanachie label and live performances are frequently broadcast on NPR, the CBC, and the BBC.
