"The special guests, the international duet Sephira, is a talented, well-rehearsed sister act from Ireland known for their beautiful voices as well as the mastery and excitement of their violins. Sisters Joyce and Ruth O'Leary have toured the world with their music. The excitement of their playing together is infectious."

“Joyce and Ruth O’Leary, of the Irish group Sephira, were in Wellesley on Friday night to celebrate their new album, “Starlight.’’ They partied at A.M. DePrisco jewelers with Zack Lo, the local designer who’s responsible for the shoes the women wear on their album cover. Lo told us yesterday that he met the O’Learys through Irish-bred, New York fashion maven Jacqueline Quinn, who designed the duo’s gowns. He said the shoes were designed for them specifically, and that he calls them “Blue Violin.’’ Friday’s party guests included comedian Steve Sweeney, sportscaster Chris Collins, and stylist Lisa Koplow.”

The event combined Sephira’s beautiful music with Celtic Christmas couture to create a unique shopping experience. nn Eastman and Ruth O'Leary. On the day Sephira, comprised of violinist/vocalist sisters Ruth and Joyce O’Leary, provided a complimentary autographed copy of Starlight for all guests. The album includes Christmas classics like “Oh Holy Night” and “Sleigh Ride,” as well as more modern holiday-suited songs such as a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”.”

“Monaghan band Sephira has joined luminaries such as Kurt Cobain when they were awarded the key to the city of Aberdeen, USA at the weekend! It was while touring in Seattle and Aberdeen at the weekend that they were presented with a very special award. On Sunday an ecstatic Ruth and Joyce said ‘We are so proud to say that we were presented with the key to the city of Aberdeen today by the Mayor. We felt even more special when we found out that Kurt Cobain was one of the other people to receive the key in the past. What an honour for Sephira! ”

“SEPHIRA is made up of Carrickmacross sisters Ruth and Joyce O’Leary. Two young classically trained musicians, their music has been described as “classical Corrs” and their debut album ‘Believe’ was released to critical acclaim in 2006. Sephira can count Larry Hagman of ‘Dallas’ fame and Kanye West amongst their fans and have even performed on stage with Kanye! Here, they take time out to chat to monaghanlife.ie about how it all began, embarrassing moments on stage and their thoughts on Jedward!”
