Celtic Woman Up For An Emmy

07/13/2010
. Celtic Woman can add an Emmy nomination to their impressive list of accomplishments. Here is the announcement:

Celtic Woman and their Musical Director David Downes have received the distinct honor of an Emmy Nomination for "Outstanding Music Direction" of their most recent PBS TV special - Songs From The Heart, Live at Powerscourt House & Gardens.

"This is perhaps the most prestigious award Celtic Woman and David Downes have received to date and it is well-deserved. Manhattan Records are extremely proud of the always stellar performances delivered by Celtic Woman as well as the tremendous effort the entire creative and technical team contributed towards making this TV special and related DVD such a huge success." remarked Blue Note / Manhattan Records President Ian Ralfini.

The Emmy nominated PBS TV special began airing in December as part of the network's quarterly pledge drive, immediately yielding outstanding viewership results and demonstrating the extraordinary ability of Celtic Woman to transcend their performances from a live concert into a viewer's home.

Upon release in January 2010 the companion DVD debuted #1 on the Billboard DVD Music Video Chart. The visually stunning DVD also translates to the live concert stage in the Songs from the Heart tour.
