Donnell Leahy

Prepare to be swept away by the electrifying chemistry of two of Celtic music's greatest living legends. On Sunday, November 8, 2026, Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy — married in life and unrivaled as musical partners — take the stage at the Buffalo State Performing Arts Center for an unforgettable evening of virtuosic fiddling, infectious rhythm, and heartfelt tradition. Together, they represent a combined legacy that spans decades, Grammy nominations, and sold-out concert halls across North America. Their performances are nothing short of extraordinary spectacles. Expect blazing fiddle duets that seem to defy human possibility, moments of tender ballad-singing, foot-stomping Cape Breton step dancing, and a warmth between performer and audience that feels like an intimate gathering even in a grand hall. MacMaster's fiery precision and Leahy's deeply rooted, soulful style complement each other perfectly, creating music that is at once ancient and vibrantly alive. The Buffalo State Performing Arts Center provides a stunning setting for this cultural celebration — an intimate yet acoustically superb venue that puts every attendee close to the magic. Whether you're a lifelong fan of Celtic and folk music or simply someone who loves witnessing world-class artistry in person, this is an evening that will leave you inspired, moved, and on your feet. Don't miss one of the most beloved partnerships in acoustic music today.
