Hayley Westenra joined the popular Irish crossover group last week for a taping of its latest PBS special, “A New Journey: Live at Slane Castle.” The show is to be broadcast in December, with an album and DVD to come in January. (But not before another Celtic Woman album, “A Christmas Celebration,” is released on Oct. 3.) “I am very excited to be joining Celtic Woman,” Ms. Westenra, aged 19, said in a statement. “I have heard so much about the show and their success.” Her family, the statement says, is originally from County Monaghan in northeastern Ireland.
