Matthew Olwell’s work blends traditional and original music, songs, and lore from Ireland, Brittany, and the United States. Join us by the fireside and enjoy this solo performance featuring an exciting selection of traditional and original music on a selection of wooden and bamboo flutes and other wind instruments,  songs and ballads from both sides of the Atlantic, and anecdotes from the fluteshop, grad-school, and life on the road. 

Matthew has been a featured performer and teacher at numerous festivals and camps, including the Dublin Dance Festival, the Augusta Heritage Center, and the Aulnay All Blues Festival in Paris, and the original London production of Riverdance.
