The Blarney Star Concert Series: Ivan Goff and Cleek Schrey

Dublin-native New Yorker Ivan Goff is a master of the uilleann pipes and flute who has performed with many distinguished Irish musicians. He is also working on his PhD in ethomusicology at NYU, teaching courses on Celtic musis.

He is currently a member of Ghost Trio, an acclaimed group that also includes singer Iarla Ó Lionáird and Virginia-born fiddler Cleek Schrey.

Cleek, who will join Ivan for this concert, plays both standard fiddle and a custom-made hardangerfele, a Norwegian violin fitted with ghostly sounding sympathetic strings.
