An Evening with NATALIE MACMASTER, DONNELL LEAHY & FAMILY

Event Details

Event type: All Ages

When Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy married in 2002 — both were already stars in their own right — they could not have predicted their merger would recast what contemporary musical success looks like. Or that they would produce a large family and ensure their mantelpiece was jammed with JUNO and East Coast Music Awards while creating an inventory of achievements spanning the globe.

Though MacMaster and Leahy followed different trajectories to this point — she a Cape Breton native who could step-dance before she could walk, he the oldest brother of acclaimed family group Leahy — both have confidently crested the traditional music peak.

Natalie and Donnell’s family includes seven gifted children, five of whom are often the showpiece of the MacMaster/Leahy live set.

“This whole thing — first playing music by myself, then playing music with Donnell, then touring with Donnell and the children and all of us playing music together — has evolved in a very natural way. We feel incredibly lucky to be together as a family and to be letting our children develop their musical talent.” - Natalie MacMaster
