Loreena McKennitt

Concert by Loreena McKennitt, the Canadian singer-songwriter and harpist, at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Loreena McKennitt is a Canadian singer-songwriter and harpist, born in 1957 in Morden. Active since 1985 in world music, new age and Celtic music, the artist released the first album, Elemental, the same year. The music draws on Celtic traditions, combining the harp with the voice in songs that blend traditional and original material.

On stage, Loreena McKennitt performs as a singer and harpist, the harp being the central instrument of the music. The concert is a live performance by the artist under their own name, and the programme follows the repertoire of their recordings.

The Royal Albert Hall is a large concert and show venue in London, hosting a wide range of music and live events. This evening suits listeners interested in Celtic and world music and in the harp-and-voice repertoire of a long-established singer-songwriter.
