Boston-based Shannon Heaton sings and plays tunes on the Irish flute. For this special presentation, she’ll share some of her favorites and give an insider tour of the music. Learn how Shannon plays and hears traditional music, consider expressive elements in Irish music, and hear about some of the settings and players who have shaped the tradition. Whether you know hundreds of tunes or are new to Irish music, there’s always more to explore in the art of Irish music!

After the hour-long program, Shannon will lead a session. All are very welcome to participate (not just for flute players!)

The Irish-American super group The Pride of New York comprises some of the best-known players on this side of the Atlantic. Collectively they have won four All-Ireland championship awards, recorded multiple solo albums, and logged countless miles touring across the United States and abroad. “If you like your music straight up traditional and you think of sections of Brooklyn and the Bronx as westernmost Irish counties, then you will truly enjoy Pride of New York.” — hearthmusic.com
