Celtic fiddler Eileen Ivers' résumé reads like the Energizer Bunny. It keeps going and going and going.
The Grammy Award winner and Emmy nominee has performed with the London Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops, and has appeared in more than 40 orchestras worldwide. She is an original violinist for "Riverdance" and is a nine-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion.
Ivers has performed with Sting, Hall and Oates, The Chieftains, Fiddlers 3 with Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg and Regina Carter, Patti Smith, Al Di Meola and Steve Gadd. She is also a founding member of Cherish the Ladies.
Utahns will get the opportunity to see Ivers live when the Park City Institute brings her Christmas concert to the Eccles Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday.
"The heart of the program is to spread the joy of Christmas, especially an Irish Christmas," Ivers said. "We will discuss some customs, especially little ones that have been handed down over the years, that pertains to how the Irish celebrate."
