Úna Ní Fhlannagáin is a harper and singer based in Galway, Ireland. Rooted in the jigs and reels of North Clare and the sean-nós singing of Connemara, she is also influenced by American post-minimalists and free jazz. Accolades include the Riada Gold Medal for Harp (2017) and the All-Ireland trophy for Senior Harp Slow Airs (Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann 2018).

Playing music since age 3, she has since performed all over Europe, and in North America, the Middle East, and Asia. Passionate about music education, she is the first, and so far only, Irish harpist to qualify as a Suzuki harp teacher. Artistic collaborations include Celtic music icon Alan Stivell, Grammy-winner Bobby McFerrin, and free jazz legend, Anthony Braxton. A soulful performer, she strives to create emotional connection with her audience; to bring solace and joy.

March 2025 will see Úna's unique blend of traditional tunes and original compositions performed on public stages in Aotearoa New Zealand for the first time. You don't want to miss this!
