Final Performance of 2025-2026 Season to Feature Nine-Time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion, Called “A Virtuoso” by The Irish Times
The Needham Bank Great Hall Concert Series will bring Grammy-winning and Emmy-nominated Irish fiddler Eileen Ivers to the stage for a performance at the Needham Town Hall.
Ivers is a nine-time All-Ireland Fiddle Champion. Proclaimed “a national treasure,” she connects her American, Irish traditional, jazz, blues, and world roots. She was the groundbreaking musical star of Riverdance, a featured instrumentalist on Back to Titanic, and contributed to film soundtracks including Gangs of New York. Ivers has been called a "sensation" by Billboard magazine, "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin” by The New York Times, “the future of the Celtic fiddle” by The Washington Post, and “a virtuoso” by The Irish Times.
Writer Frank McCourt sums up her genius eloquently: “Eileen is to Irish music as Michael Flatley is to Irish dance—a pioneer, an innovator, a universalist.”
