BelfastTrad are delighted to announce this flute workshop for intermediate - advanced level players with the technically masterful and emotionally expressive flute player Aoife Granville.  

Aoife has years of experience as a performer and as a teacher.  Originally from Dingle, Aoife has been playing both classical and traditional music since the age of 7.  While in her teens she performed and toured with the Kerry Chamber Orchestra, the Dublin Youth Orchestra and Ceol Chiarraí amongst others. She went on to study Music in UCC where she was a member of fiddle group Fiddlesticks.  Aoife was awarded with a Bene Merenti award from UCC for her contribution to traditional music and has won numerous prizes at Oireachtas and Fleadhanna Cheoil including the prestigious All Ireland Senior Flute title in 2003.  Aoife released her debut album, Sráid Eoin Shuffle, in 2006 and her follow up album, Sáimhín Só, in 2014.  Aoife now lives in Ballyvourney in Co. Cork, immersed in the rich flute playing tradition of the area.  She works as the Director of the Ionad Cultúrtha (Cultural Centre) where she programmes music and cultural activities. 

The workshop will conclude with a free recital open to all from 5:00-5:30pm with Aoife and Laoise Kelly (Harp).
