On Wednesday, March 11 at 7:30 p.m., the Wellsboro Community Concert Association is presenting a special bonus concert that is open to the public in the Coolidge Theatre at the Deane Center for the Performing Arts at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro. This show is not part of the association’s regular six-concert series. 

Performing their signature Irish music and dance on March 11 will be the supergroup, Cherish The Ladies, formed in 1985 in New York City.  They are currently on tour with performances scheduled throughout the United States, particularly in the Northeast in February and March. 

Members of Cherish The Ladies are: All-Ireland flute and tin whistle champion Joanie Madden, Mary Coogan (guitar), Mirella Murray (accordion), Kathleen Boyle (piano), Nollaig Casey (fiddle), and Kate Purcell (lead vocals, guitar). 

Traveling with them are the finest Irish dancers. Together they create a spectacular blend of virtuoso instrumental talents, beautiful vocals, captivating arrangements and energetic step-dancing. 

Cherish The Ladies has toured the world, played the White House and at the Olympics, and recorded 17 outstanding albums and a live DVD, “An Irish Homecoming,” which recently won an Emmy. 

The group has collaborated with such musicians as The Boston Pops, The Clancy Brothers, the Chieftains, Vince Gill, Nanci Griffith, Pete Seeger, Don Henley, Arlo Guthrie and Maura O’Connell.

The last two concerts of WCCA’s 2025-2026 season are: the John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band on Saturday April 11 and Greg Piccolo and Heavy Juice on Saturday, April 25, both at 7:30 p.m. in the Coolidge Theatre.
