About Ivan Goff: Originally from Dublin, Ivan Goff is an acclaimed uilleann piper and flautist and a longtime member of the renowned Irish traditional band Danú. Over his career, he has toured internationally and collaborated with many of Irish music’s most celebrated figures, including Iarla Ó Lionáird, Mícheál Ó Raghallaigh, Martin Hayes, Cormac Breatnach, Eileen Ivers, Dervish, and Lúnasa. More recently, he has performed with the all-star ensemble Irish Music Masters, alongside John Doyle, Séamus Egan, John Williams, and Cathie Ryan. Since moving to New York more than twenty years ago, Ivan has built an impressive résumé that spans film, theater, and orchestral work, including appearances with the New York Philharmonic. His performances have taken him to prestigious venues such as MoMA, The Guggenheim, Disney Hall in Los Angeles, and Broadway stages in productions like Riverdance, Sting’s The Last Ship, and Come From Away. Ivan holds master’s degrees from University College Dublin and Queen’s University Belfast, as well as a Ph.D. in music from New York University.
