Conor Crimmins is a Flute and Whistle player from Co.Clare. He is as at home in a heaving trad session as he is creating and performing progressive music. He has gigged extensively and recorded on several esteemed recordings, most notably with bands Avalla, Arum, Strangeboy and The Jeremiahs. Conor studied music at University College of Cork and University of Limerick and spent many years as the flute tutor at the Irish World Academy, UL. Conor’s performances are progressive, exploratory and contain Musical artefacts from his very diverse Musical experience so far. Although already an experienced professional, Conor is dedicated to pushing the limits on the wooden flute and regularly receives masterclasses from world renowned Jazz, Classical and Contemporary flautists. His new project Aerophone is forthcoming, here he combines his great loves of electronic music, composition and expressive wooden flute player.
