Soul: A Celtic Christmas
 |
Eileen Ivers, a Celtic fiddler and former
musical star of “Riverdance,” will perform a Christmas
show comprised of standard and Celtic holiday material on Thursday,
December 16 at 8 p.m. in the Shea Center for Performing Arts.
Originally from the Bronx, Ivers began playing the fiddle at the
age of eight and studied with the renowned fiddler, Martin Mulvihill.
As a child, she grew up in a culturally diverse neighborhood and
has incorporated the rhythms of African, Latin and American roots
into her music. She is a nine-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion and
has worked with musical artists including Paula Cole, John Doyle,
Eddie Gomez and Randy Brecker. Ivers established a touring production
with the quintet Immigrant Soul and has made numerous appearances
throughout the United States, Europe, Japan, Russia and Mexico.
Tickets are $26 standard, $24 for senior citizens, William Paterson
faculty and staff, and $8 for William Paterson students. For additional
