| Andrea Mori is an active Irish musician and teacher in the Boston area. She began her early musical life as a classical musician but she always had an interest in Celtic music as well. A graduate of Boston University's School for the Arts, she taught classical flute at Regis College and was the tin whistle instructor for the Regis life-long learning program. She directed the Regis Flute Choir which performed twice with Cherish The Ladies and played on a television special with Irish harper Aine Minogue. Andrea teaches tin whistle and flute at the Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann Music School at Harvard University and Boston College. She formerly taught adult whistle classes at The Irish Cultural Centre of New England, and currently teaches adult classes on the South Shore. Her enthusiasm and dedication to passing on the tradition extends to the younger generation as well. Her students have placed at the Fleadh in New York and gone on to compete in the All-Ireland Competition. In 2004 she founded the New Boston Ceili Band. Andrea co-leads a weekly session at The Snug Pub and performs with Boston Comhaltas, The Geese in the Bog band, and The O'Carolan consort - a group dedicated to playing the music of Turlough O'Carolan. She is a former member of the Gloucester Hornpipe and Clog Society band. Numerous performances include the Irish Connections Festival, the O'Carolan Festival, the JFK Library, and a recent concert for Raidio na Gaeltachta, an Irish language radio station in Ireland. A life long interest in all kinds of piping has led her to take up the Uilleann pipes, but don't expect any public performances ! |
