Cherish the Ladies Celtic Christmas Concert
Sunday, December 07, 2025 @ 3:00pm

Union County Performing Arts Center (UCPAC) - Main Stage
1601 Irving Street, Rahway, NJ 07065

By popular demand, UCPAC welcomes back Cherish the Ladies Celtic Christmas concert for a special holiday matinee performance!
“I discovered that the Celtic instrumentation naturally blends with the Christmas music,” said Cherish the Ladies leader, National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Award Winner, and flutist/whistle player extraordinaire Joanie Madden in a 2023 interview with TapInto Rahway. “The audience loves it, and we love to have the audience get involved and sing along with us. My band members—the singers, dancers, and musicians—are just so talented. They’re stellar. And it’s really a family event. There is something for everyone. We have so much fun.”
One of the most engaging and successful ensembles in the history of Celtic music, Cherish the Ladies have shared timeless Irish traditions with audiences worldwide for forty years. In their Celtic Christmas performance, the Ladies put their signature mark on classic carols such as “O Come All Ye Faithful” and “Silent Night,” in arrangements that highlight the group’s unique Celtic instrumentation, beautiful harmonies, and spectacular step dancing.
