PORTLAND, Maine – Celtic fiddle sensation Eileen Ivers and her band Immigrant Soul join the Portland Symphony Orchestra and Music Director Robert Moody for the first PSO Pops! concerts of the season on Saturday, October 9 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, October 10 at 2:30 p.m. at Merrill Auditorium.
The winner of nine All-Ireland fiddle championships, Eileen Ivers has been dazzling audiences with her multicultural and genre-bending performances for decades. Through appearances with the London Symphony Orchestra, the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center, the Boston Pops, The Chieftans, Sting, and many others, Ivers has established herself as the pre-eminent exponent of the Irish fiddle in the world today. Eileen Ivers and Immigrant Soul headline prestigious performing arts centers, guest star with numerous symphonies, perform at major festivals worldwide, and have appeared on national and international television. The L.A. Times proclaimed, “Ivers’ presentation was music with the kind of life and spirit that come together when talented artists from different backgrounds find the linkages that connect all forms of music…no wonder the audience loved every minute.”
