Highly regarded for popularizing traditional Irish folk music across the world, “The Chieftains” bring their bagpipes, banjos and exciting musicality to Pacific Symphony Pops for an extension of this year’s St. Patrick’s Day celebrations!
Co-founder Paddy Moloney and his band have won six Grammy Awards, released 58 albums and performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the Great Wall of China.
By collaborating with contemporary musicians across multiple genres—Pavarotti, Van Morrison, Ziggy Marley and Elvis Costello, to name a few—The Chieftains have enjoyed more than 50 years at the top of the modern music charts. Their international fame stems from their ability to transcend musical boundaries to blend tradition with modern music.
The music on their new album, “Voice of Ages,” remains as fresh and relevant as when they first began.
Led by Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman, The Chieftain’s Symphony performance features the Long Beach Camerata Singers, local Irish dancers and a local pipe band. The concert takes place Thursday through Saturday, March 19-21, at 8 p.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Tickets are $35-160; Box Circle, $185.
