Ivan Goff & Katie Linnane
2023-05-20 20:00 - 22:30 (America/New_York)
Katie Linnane and Ivan Goff (fiddle and uilleann pipes/flute)

Katie Linnane and Ivan Goff are stalwarts of that vibrant Irish traditional music scene in New York City. Their classic combination of fiddle and uilleann pipes in this duet delivers a sound rooted in the Irish traditional music scenes of North America and Ireland.

Katie, from Pearl River, NY, grew up surrounded by music in her childhood home, also the venue for her mother, Kathy’s music school. She studied for many years with fiddle great, Willie Kelly and it is through Willie that Katie cultivated an affinity for Clare music and developed a keen ear for great repertoire. Immersed in New York City’s thriving Irish music scene and in demand as a teacher and performer across the tri-state area, Katie has cultivated her style through playing with many of the top performers associated with the North East scene including Mike Rafferty, Patrick Ourceau, Eamon O’Leary, John Morrow, and Kevin Crawford.

Growing up in Dublin, Ivan was mentored for several years by uilleann pipes great, Mick O’Brien. Today Ivan is equally renowned for his flute and pipes playing. A member of Irish traditional band Danú, he has also performed worldwide in duets and ensembles with many household names of Irish music including Iarla Ó Lionáird, Mícheál Ó Raghallaigh, Martin Hayes, Eileen Ivers, Dervish, and Lúnasa and more recently with Irish Music Masters with John Doyle, Seamus Egan, John Williams, and Cathie Ryan. Since arriving in New York over two decades ago, Ivan’s credits range from film and theater, to several well known Broadway productions, to guest appearances with the New York Philharmonic. Individually, Katie and Ivan have won plaudits for their music; together, this musical power couple win over audiences with their deep affinities in repertoire, style, and musical experience.

Open the Door for Three
2023-03-16 19:30 (America/New_York)
$20 general admission
RSVP requested: bostonpipers@gmail.com
Liz, Kieran, and Pat have been mainstays of the Irish music scene around the world, having distinguished themselves over the last two decades as soloists with Riverdance, Cherish the Ladies, String Sisters, Secret Garden, Anúna, and The New York Pops. As a trio, they have played to a wide range of audiences in venues large and small, from Irish festivals, to concert halls, house concerts, and pubs. They have performed around the world: on Broadway and at Carnegie Hall, at L’Olympia and the Palais des Congrès in Paris, in Malaysian rainforest festivals, in theatres from Shanghai to São Paulo, and even in a bullring in Mallorca. Most recently, they have been featured at The Kennedy Center’s Ireland 100 festival, the Celtic Colours festival in Cape Breton, at The Milwaukee Irish Festival, and in The Masters of Tradition series in Bantry, County Cork, Ireland.
Irish music is a living, breathing part of Irish and Irish-American culture, and there is no single story that can sum up its history, its charm, grace, and drive. The soul of Open the Door for Three’s music is filled with connections: the connections to people and places, to teachers and heritage and audiences, and to the stories and humor that bring us all together. From these connections comes inspiration, which fills a bottomless well that keeps the trio coming back again and again – to refill, refuel, reinvent, and share.
