Loreena McKennitt – Revisiting “The Visit” after 30 years
Loreena McKennitt returns to Paradigms after 4 years to talk about the 30th anniversary of her breakthrough record The Visit. Loreena is about to launch a Canadian Tour where she will be performing the album in its entirety along with colleagues Caroline Lavelle on cello, Hugh Marsh on violin, and Brian Hughes on guitar. With just one date in each province, this tour is extra special!
Loreena tells some of her origin story as an artist, and shares a spirited conversation about creativity, technology, cosmology, and more.
Loreena is sustained by nature, a lover of animals, and a very thoughtful person who is concerned with the state of humanity. Her music draws from rich traditions and Loreena’s own creativity, creating space for reflection, feeling, and appreciation.
We’ll be listening to selections from The Visit.

Hello Loreena! when The Visit was released 30 yrs ago, I was already listening to your beautiful music when I was living in my country, Venezuela. then I moved to europe 8 years ago and I got the chance to see you in concert in Paris in 2017, where I got the chance to give you a pair of silver earings with shells from the way of saint James(Camino de Santiago). that day I ask you if you could wear it on that concert (You did it? ). Then in 2019 I went for another wonderful concert in Madrid. and I got the chance to meet Caroline Lavelle that night. Wow! So Blessed I am ! Warm hugs from the way of Saint James Loreena ! Buen Camino!
