Sean Gavin

Uilleann piper and flute player Seán Gavin is one of the most highly regarded Irish musicians of his generation. In 2016 he became the first and only musician born outside Ireland to win the prestigious Seán Ó Riada Gold Medal, and his most recent recording was hailed by The Irish Echo as “traditional music at its best!” He is among the most highly sought instructors of Irish music and has taught at institutions around the world. He now serves as Director of the Swannanoa Gathering’s Celtic Week.

Don Penzien Don Penzien has long been a top-flight performer of Irish traditional music. He frequently is on the road playing concerts and festivals with Haley Richardson, Gailfean, Brian Conway, Gerry O’Connor, and The Máirtín de Cógáin Project, and he has served as accompanist for numerous other well-known performers (e.g., Seán Gavin, Randal Bays, Máirtín de Cógáin, John Whelan, Tim Britton, John Williams, Pat Broaders, Gabe Donohue, Ben Jaber, Tony DeMarco, Billy McComiskey, Sean Clohessy, Bridget Fitzgerald, Kevin Doyle). Widely recognized for his reserved backing style, Don’s dexterous work on DADGAD-tuned guitar provides solid, driving rhythms to traditional tunes as well as perceptive and sensitive accompaniments to songs and airs. Don is a Michigan native with strong roots in Irish culture and an affinity for Celtic music. He now resides in NC where he works as Professor at the Wake Forest School of Medicine.

She learned traditional tunes from her father (fiddle player Andy Hanley) and from gatherings in the homes of her grandparents and the great Brian O’Donovan. She attended the New England Conservatory Preparatory School and then undertook Irish studies at NYU with Dr. Mick Moloney. She frequently toured as a member of Moloney’s Green Fields of America as well as the progressive folk rock ensemble Frogbelly and Symphony.
