Loreena Mc Kennitt: Fall tour in Quebec and Ottawa‏

I am so glad to share with you this recent Official Press from Quinlan Road Loreena announces fall tour in Québec and Ottawa Montréal pre-sale starts today! August 15, 2012 Quinlan Road is excited to announce some upcoming concerts in the province of Quebec and Ottawa between Dec 1 and Dec 10.   As the details continue to be finalised for other cities, we are pleased to announce that Loreena will be presenting a concert at Place Des Arts in Montreal on Dec 6, 2012. Pre-sale tickets are available now.

Accompanied by four of her longtime colleagues, violinist Hugh Marsh, guitarist Brian Hughes, cellist Caroline Lavelle and hurdy-gurdy player / percussionist Ben Grossman, Loreena’s program will consist of music from across her “eclectic Celtic” catalogue of recordings including her most recent studio recording, The Wind that Shakes the Barley, as well as some lesser-known, seasonal carols. Woven into this intimate evening, Loreena will share some of the stories and travels behind her songs… a pursuit of the Celtic story which encompasses her journeys to Ireland, Brittany, Russia , Turkey, Mongolia, China, and beyond.

“I’m very much looking forward to sharing some of the more intimate material. I have always loved playing with the larger band (performing songs like The Mummers’ Dance, etc.) and will do so in the future,” says Loreena. “These concerts, however, are intended to be a much more personal experience, which will have a different focus in terms of songs and arrangements. And it will be a pleasure to include some seasonal works, which I haven’t had the opportunity to perform in the past.”
