EARLVILLE - Earlville Opera House (EOH) is please to present a special holiday Main Stage performance on Saturday, December 13 at 7 p.m. with “A Celtic Christmas” with Cassie and Maggie MacDonald.
  
Nova Scotian sisters Cassie and Maggie have been lighting up the world with their unique blend of traditional and contemporary Celtic instrumentals and vocals. Appearing on stages across North America, the UK, and Europe the sisters have enchanted audiences far and wide with lively fiddle, piano and guitar arrangements, stunning sibling vocal harmonies in both English and Gaelic, all complemented by their intricate and percussive step-dancing style.

“Their new album, The Willow Collection showcases not only their musical ability, but the depth and variety of their musicianship. Cassie and Maggie are an unbelievably gifted duo... the train is just gathering steam and leaving the station on these new stars. It is going to be a glorious journey, and it is already well-begun." –Live Ireland Radio- Dublin, IR. "Be it their foot percussion accompanying driving Nova Scotian sets, their perfect blend of sibling harmonies, added to a stunning interplay on various instruments, a musical evening spent with Cassie and Maggie is a great night, altogether" according to Irish Music Magazine.
