Celtic Waves play their music with lots of heart and spirit. You'll never meet two more charming women, always smiling and ever so humble, bringing their love of life to the world with their music. From the precise and expressive piano work of Mae, to the lively, rolling jigs of Hristiana's violin, the music is alive and moving.

Mae MacDonald Obladen

Mae was born in Harbour View, Cape Breton and is among the finest pianists to be found playing traditional music. Her impeccable timing, her expression, along with her understanding of the music and its traditions combine to give the music strength and sensitivity. Listener will hear her musicianship and mastery of her instrument glowing brilliantly throughout the tunes on this CD.

Hristiana Iotzova

Hristiana was trained in classical music in her native Bulgaria. Her violin playing is captured at its best here. Hristiana has quickly acquired a deep appreciation and love for Celtic Music and is admired by local fiddlers and fans alike for her wonderful rich tone and her ability to express the tunes in such a powerful and lively manner. The dance floor is always full when Hristiana's violin fills the air with her heartfelt music

Sit back, close your eyes and prepare yourself for a journey through the heart and soul of traditional fiddle music
