Chloë Agnew
Chloë Agnew is a singer, songwriter from Dublin, Ireland. From the age of 14, she gained fame for her integral part as one of the original (and youngest) members of the internationally acclaimed music group Celtic Woman.
In 1998 ChloĂ« won the Grand Prix at the First International Children’s Song Competition in Cairo, Egypt, where she represented Ireland. She made her PBS dĂ©but in 1999 as part of Handel’s Messiah performing alongside Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, Roger Daltrey and Aidan Quinn. In 2004 ChloĂ« had just finished recording her second solo album âWalking in the Airâ when she was cast as one of the original soloists for the PBS production Celtic Woman.
The Celtic Woman PBS Special first aired in March 2005 and within weeks the group’s eponymous debut album reached #1 on Billboardâs World Music chart where it held the top position on the Billboard World Music chart for 81 weeks. Their second album, Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration knocked their first album to the #2 spot on the World Music chart when released in October 2006.
ChloĂ« is featured on a total of 14 Celtic Woman albums, with songs recorded in English, Irish, Latin, Japanese, Italian, and German which have sold more than eight million copies worldwide, all of which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s World Music chart. Celtic Woman sold out concerts in prestigious venues across the globe from Carnegie Hall, Red Rocks, Colorado, Radio City Music Hall to several Arenas in Europe, Japan and Australia, performing for almost three million fans. She has performed with Celtic Woman on the US TV shows Dancing with the Stars, Regis and Kelly, The Today Show and Good Morning America, and many more.

In 2017 ChloĂ« began touring with top Irish artist Nathan Carter on his U.S. tours and for the past four seasons has been the headline act for the highly acclaimed and always innovative Atlanta Pops Orchestra. The popular show âAn Irish Heart,â as well as their holiday shows have taken ChloĂ« and the Pops to performing arts centers throughout the Southeast and Midwest. She has become a âVoice of the Irishâ for the University of Notre Dame performing for many events at the University including opening for the band Chicago at the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Party in Dallas, Texas where she performed a song with the legendary group.
