Anne Harrigan

Fiddle

With a name like Harrigan, it’s no surprise that Anne was drawn to Irish music at an early age. But her passion really sparked when she got involved in presenting Irish music with orchestras, including the US Premiere of the Brendan Voyage for Uilleann Pipes and orchestra. Anne has collaborated with artists such as Jeremy Kittel, Cillian Vallely, Sierra Noble, Moxie Strings and the Founding. Her inspiration comes from the Sligo fiddling style, including fiddlers like Michael Coleman, Oisin MacDiarmada, Dylan Foley, and Brian Conway. Harrigan is a winner of the Fleadh Cheoil Midwest competition and represented the US in the All-Ireland Fleadh Cheoil competition in Mullingar. When not fiddling around Michigan, Anne can be seen on the podium directing the Battle Creek Symphony or the Billings Symphony in Montana, or hanging upside down on aerial silks.
