EARLVILLE – The Earlville Opera House presents The Clancy Legacy Celtic Christmas Concert on Saturday, Dec. 19 at the Catherine Cummings Theater in Cazenovia at 4 p.m. This warm holiday celebration has a distinct Celtic flavor and extends from the little known Kilmore carols of Wexford to the Irish-American vaudeville stage. The Earlville Opera House thanks the generous support of WAER-FM for making this performance possible.

This Celtic Christmas concert is a celebration of the holiday season in the Clancy tradition! The Clancy Legacy includes some of the next generation of performers descended from the Clancy Brothers of Ed Sullivan fame in the 1960’s. Aoife Clancy (pronounced “Eefa”) is on vocals and bodhran, Robbie O’Connell on guitar and vocals and George Keith on fiddle and concertina – together they create a delightful musical tapestry to celebrate the season.

Aoife Clancy’s father, Bobby Clancy of the renowned Clancy Brothers, put a guitar in her hands at ten, and soon, she was performing at local venues. From traditional Irish songs to ballads, she has established a reputation of excellence in the Celtic music scene, fronting the acclaimed group Cherish the Ladies for four years. With her beautiful voice and refreshing range, Aiofe sings with a sincerity that would melt packed ice with its warmth and richness.
