Loreena McKennitt concert
One fantastic concert! Between some songs she talked about her life, background of songs and we all felt like we were listening to a friend! Great. rapport with the fans. Caroline, Brian, Hugh and Dudley were absolutely great! I hated the show ending, wished it could have gone on for hours!! Would definitely go to see her again and would recommend her show to anyone who loves music and appreciates great talent. ... Read more

Loreena McKennitt in Calgary
My long wait to see Loreena did not disappoint. Her voice is as strong and pitch-perfect as ever. Very warm presence and loved the personal stories insights. With such a great body of work under her belt, how do you pick songs from everywhere? She's a masterful musician and performer. I plan to see here every time she returns to Calgary. And the volume was great - not too loud. ... Read more

Ethereal and Just Plain Magical!
After more than 25 years of waiting to see Loreena, last night was my first opportunity. It did not disappoint in the slightest. Loreena and her artistic cohorts put on one hell of a show, and I am only sorry that it ended. I will definitely go see her again in the future should I be lucky enough to do so.
it was magical, ethereal, and everything I had hoped for. Thank you Loreena and family. It was terrific.
You’re legends! ... Read more
