      • Celtic Woman: A New Journey is the third studio album by Celtic Woman, released worldwide on 30 January 2007.


      Background


      A New Journey was recorded with the Celtic Woman backing band led by musical director David Downes, the Irish Film Orchestra conducted by John Page, and the Aontas Choral Ensemble directed by Rosemary Collier.
      The six principal performers on the album are vocalists Chloë Agnew, Órla Fallon, Lisa Kelly, Méav Ní Mhaolchatha, Hayley Westenra, and fiddler Máiréad Nesbitt. It is also the first - and only - album to introduce Westenra as a new addition to the group.
      In preparation for the release of the album, a special concert event was held against the backdrop of Slane Castle in County Meath, Ireland on 23 and 24 August 2006. Footage from both shows were professionally recorded, and the concert, also entitled A New Journey, premiered on American television station PBS and The Walt Disney Company in December 2006, later being released on VHS and DVD formats on 30 January 2007 in conjunction with the album.
