PORTLAND — New England Celtic Arts will present legendary Gaelic singer Mary Jane Lamond and fiddler Wendy MacIsaac at three Maine venues.

Lamond and MacIsaac released their album Seinn on September 18, 2012 and ended the year with a bang. Seinn reflects the great love and respect that Lamond and MacIsaac have for Nova Scotia tradition and for each other. The record achieves a delicate balance between the musical sensibilities of two artists, showcasing traditional and original compositions among the melancholy of Gaelic song and the joy of fiddle tunes.

Some of the material was learned from the recordings of older Cape Breton singers and fiddlers, some songs were chosen from existing repertoires, and some were written specifically for this project. The record fuses Roots arrangements with a traditional presentation, capturing the enjoyment and fun that Lamond and MacIsaac have together on and off the stage.

This is a powerful collaboration borne of a long-time friendship and a shared love of Celtic music. Whether it’s the mesmerizing Gaelic vocals of Lamond, or the superb and true musicianship of MacIsaac on the fiddle, these ladies have been making their mark with traditional audiences worldwide for over two decades.

Lamond and MacIsaac have both been recognized internationally for their solo music careers, and MacIsaac has been Lamond’s steadfast comrade in the presentation of her music for many years. It seems only natural that these two impressive talents now come together to create a true musical partnership, which will combine their musical sensibilities, their strong Celtic roots, and their colorful personalities.

They will be featured on the program WCSH6 207 at 7 p.m. Monday, April 29.

Performances will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 30 at St. Lawrence Arts, 76 Congress St.,  Portland; Wednesday, May 1 at Skye Theatre Performing Arts Center, Winter Hill Rd., South Carthage, and Thursday, May 2 at Phillips Area Community Center, Phillips.
