(BRANCHBURG, NJ) -- The Theatre at Raritan Valley Community College is going to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day a little bit early at with a performance of the always entertaining Danú on Friday, February 18 at 8:00pm. Hailing from historic County Waterford, Danú is one of today’s leading, traditional Irish ensembles. The artists’ standing-room-only concerts throughout Ireland are true events featuring high-energy performances and a glorious mix of ancient Irish music and new repertoire.
Danú takes its audiences on a musical journey to the musicians’ native Ireland, offering a moving and memorable concert experience. For over two decades, Danú’s virtuosi players on flute, tin whistle, fiddle, button accordion, bouzouki, and vocals (Irish and English), have performed around the globe and have recorded seven critically acclaimed albums. The group’s live DVD, One Night Stand, was filmed at Vicar St. Dublin.
Winner of numerous awards from the BBC and Irish Music Magazine, Danú has toured throughout Europe, the Middle East, and North America with stops at The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and Symphony Space in New York City. The group has presented major concerts in the United Kingdom, India, Israel, and across Europe. Danú’s popular recordings are available on the Shanachie label, and the musicians’ live performances are often broadcast on NPR, the CBC, and the BBC.
