A Grammy® and Emmy® nominated artist and composer, Máiréad Nesbitt has enchanted millions around the world as the featured Celtic violinist and founding member of the globetrotting music phenomenon Celtic Woman. Loyal fans of all ages, across geographical and cultural boundaries far beyond the musical heritage of Ireland, have adored her beguiling stage presence and versatile instrumental talents. She is the featured violin soloist on eleven Celtic Woman albums that all reached the number one slot on the Billboard World Music Chart.
See Máiréad as featured soloist with Lindsey Sterling in Disney’s newest Epcot show Harmonious Live on Disney+ for the 50th Anniversary hosted by Idina Menzel.
Hailed as “A demon of a fiddle player” by the NY Times, Máiréad has emerged as one of Ireland’s most in-demand musicians. Her multitude of awards include Irish Music Magazine’s Best Traditional and Multi-Instrumentalist Artist awards. Máiréad’s solo albums, Raining Up and Hibernia, have charted on four different Billboard charts. The album Devil’s Bit Sessions features three generations of her family and was recorded in the three-hundred-year-old Nesbitt family home in County Tipperary, Ireland. Máiréad has performed at both the White House and the Pentagon for four U.S. presidents. Additionally, among the hundreds of famous venues where she has performed are Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Red Rocks Colorado and Hyde Park in London.
