Eight Gigs: Celtic Woman

Thu., Dec. 1, 7 p.m., Community Center Theater, $50-$110

For those who’ve never seen Celtic Woman, be prepared for a wild stage show quite literally replete with all the bells and whistles. This year’s classically themed show Home for Christmas: The Symphony Tour will feature music from the successful Home for Christmas. Expect Irish jigs, traditional dance and a seasonal twist. This ensemble is one of the best of the batch when it comes to Celtic music and festivities. The current touring troupe includes vocalists Mairead Carlin, Susan McFadden, Eabha McMahon and the multitalented Tara McNeill doubling on harp and violin duties. 1301 L Street, www.celticwoman.com.
