Celtic Music with Brian Conway and Kieran Flanagan
Sunday, March 13, 2022, 2:00 PM
Hailing from Pearl River, New York, Kieran comes from a long line of well-known Irish musicians, namely his mother Rose Conway Flanagan and uncle Brian Conway. Having grown up in the house of an Irish music teacher, Kieran’s environment cultivated a deep appreciation and love for the music. And he’s no exception to this trend; his sisters are members of the all-female Irish music band Girsa. Since the age of ten, he has been a protege of the esteemed Irish pianist Brendan Dolan, as well as student to renowned flute player Margie Mulvihill. Since 2012, Kieran has won many Irish music competitions in the New York area and medaled in multiple All Ireland Fleadh Cheoil competitions. He even went on to win 1st Place on the piano at the All Ireland Fleadh in 2016. He is currently studying as an undergraduate Civil Engineering major at Manhattan College. Brian Conway is one of the premier Irish fiddle players living in America. He performs with a skill, grace and force that are steeped in tradition but distinctively his own. Brian has won numerous All-Ireland fiddling competitions, including the prestigious All-Ireland senior championship. New York born, Brian is a leading exponent of the highly ornamented Sligo fiddling style made famous by the late Michael Coleman and passed on to him by legendary Martin Wynne and fiddle great Andy McGann. His talents have also been enthusiastically received all over North America and throughout Ireland and the rest of Europe.
