Voices of Angels is the eleventh studio album released by the group Celtic Woman.

Background

The album was recorded at Cauldron Studios in Dublin, Ireland with the seventy-two-piece RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland,[3] and includes a mixture of original songs, new covers and re-arranged versions of previous Celtic Woman covers.[3]

Voices of Angels features vocalists Susan McFadden, Mairéad Carlin, Éabha McMahon, and fiddler and harpist Tara McNeill, with a guest appearance by former member and current vocal director Méav Ní Mhaolchatha. This is the group's first album to feature McNeill as their newest member (at the time).[4]

A digital-download copy of the album was made available as part of a ticket presale for the group's 2017 Voices of Angels tour in the United States, Canada, Japan, Europe, and Australia.[5]
