ABOUT THE ARTISTS
TOMÁSEEN FOLEY
storyteller
Hailed as “…a master
of the Irish narrative
and a keeper of the flame
for a priceless piece of Irish culture,” Tomáseen
Foley grew up on a small farm in the remote
parish of Teampall an Ghleanntáin in the West
of Ireland, where storytelling “was as natural
as breathing.” His show Tomáseen Foley’s A
Celtic Christmas has played to critical acclaim
and packed concert halls all over the U.S. for
the past 25 years. In conjunction with the
Omaha Symphony, Edmonton Symphony,
Nashville Symphony and other orchestras, he is
delighted to be a part of Celtic Journey, as well
as occasional performances with Apollo’s Fire
and the Cleveland Baroque Orchestra. Foley
has released two albums: A Celtic Christmas:
Parcel from America and a live recording, The
Priest and the Acrobat.
