ANÚNA is a choral ensemble based in Ireland.

The group was founded in 1987 by Michael McGlynn, who also arranges most of their songs.

A lot of our Celtic Woman ladies have performed with Anuna at some point in their careers:

Lynn
Méav
Éabha
Orla
Deirdre
Tara

Anuna was featured in Away In A Manger on Orla's Celtic Christmas DVD. If you look closely, I think you can see Eabha in the choir. ;)

Rebecca Winckworth, who was a special guest on the Destiny DVD, has also performed with Anuna.

Michael McGlynn is one of Eabha's cousins.

Some other notable names that have performed in Anuna:

Hozier
Julie Feeney
Eimear Quinn

ANÚNA recently released a feature-length film Behind the Closed Eye, which explores the music of Irish composer Michael McGlynn and his relationship to the work of the poet Francis Ledwidge who was killed in the Great War in 1917. This beautiful production was filmed across Ireland and features stunning landscapes and music. It follows the creation of the album “Behind the Closed Eye” by ANÚNA and The Ulster Orchestra and features live performances by ANÚNA (Ireland), Cantus (USA) and Apollo5 (UK).

Link to the Behind the Closed Eye video:

There are some names you might recognize in the documentary including:
- Deirdre Gilsenan (aka Deirdre Shannon)
- Hannah Traynor
- Lynn Hilary
- Méav
- George Hutton
- Roisin Dempsy
- Simon Morgan
- Sorcha Fenlon
- Victoria Warwick

The Coming of Winter is fun to listen to. There are a number of familiar names on the album as well, including Lynn and Méav, with both of them performing on the same track: Midnight.

That caused a question to pop into my head:

Can we think of any other tracks where multiple members of Celtic Woman performed together as featured performers (ie. soloists) on the same song recording before Celtic Woman existed?

Orla and Méav of course performed together on Orla's Christmas DVD (and Éabha had a cameo), but that was long after the start of Celtic Woman.

Thanks for all the info, everyone. They used to show Anuna on PBS where I live, but haven't in a while.

Another Anuna connection to CW:
Patrick McGinley = Hannah's boyfriend
