This fall, award-winning Canadian singer/songwriter, Loreena McKennitt, will be commemorating the 30th anniversary of her album, The Mask and Mirror, with an extensive tour of Eastern Canada. Widely acclaimed for its ‘cross-cultural fertilization’, the album weaves together Celtic, Spanish and Moroccan influences.

Loreena will be accompanied by musical companions Caroline Lavelle on cello, Brian Hughes on guitar, Hugh Marsh on violin, Dudley Phillips on bass and Robert Brian on drums. The first set each evening will feature fan favourites, while the second set will include every song on the album.

McKennitt proclaims, “This is a milestone anniversary in my career, and I look forward to celebrating it at home.”  Her eclectic Celtic blend of pop, folk and world music has sold more than 14 million albums worldwide, and her recordings have achieved Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum status in 15 countries, on four continents.

McKennitt proclaims she followed “paths of inspiration” and that the album
“examines the questions that echo down the centuries – Who was God?
What is religion, what spirituality? What was revealed and what was
concealed and what was the mask and what the mirror?”
The first set each evening will feature ‘fan favourites’, while the second set
