The Seamus Egan Project

Please join us as we welcome The Seamus Egan Project to Burnham Presents!

 We have been fans of Seamus Egan since the 90's and the early beginnings of his Celtic supergroup, Solas. Moira Smiley has been in our realm and musically enchanting us since her youth growing up in New Haven, VT.  Yann Falquet's  many projects including Genticorum have delighted our ears!

 Seamus Egan has inspired multiple generations of musicians and helped define the sound of Irish music today. As a multi-instrumentalist, he’s put his mark on the sound of the Irish flute, tenor banjo, guitar, mandolin, tin whistle, and low whistle, among others.  As a bandleader, Solas has been the pre-eminent Irish-American band of their generation for the past 30 years, continuously renewing  Irish music with fresh ideas. As a performer, few others can make so many instruments or such wickedly complex ornaments seem so effortless. Music comes as naturally to Seamus Egan as breath, but his mastery of the tradition is only one facet of his plans to move the music forward.  

​

Moira Smiley  is a Grammy-nominated singer, composer, and educator renowned for her mastery of the voice and ability to inspire singers of all levels. She’s published over 100 choral works that are sung by millions of singers worldwide. With a deep respect for the cultural roles of singing, Moira blends teaching, composing, and performing to empower communities and celebrate the transformative power of music.  Her voice  and composing  are heard on feature films, BBC & PBS television programs, NPR, and on more than 60 albums. 

​

Yann Falquet is a dynamic Québécois guitarist in the world of traditional music. He is a versatile artist who has already explored several styles and, although well-established, continues to deepen his knowledge of both creation and interpretation.

In 2000, Yann co-founded Genticorum, a Québec-based traditional music trio with Pascal Gemme and Nicholas Williams. Since then, he has traveled the world sharing the group's songs. Over the years, he has collaborated with Seamus Egan Project, Hanneke Cassel, The McDades, Olov Johanson (Väsen), Liz Carroll, Bruce Molsky, Cillian Vallely & Kevin Crawford (Lunasa) and Montréal composer Jean-François Bélanger's ensemble.
