Kira Ott - fiddle, vocals


Kira Ott is an electrifying young fiddler from Southern California. She learned much of her music from the community of musicians at the Scoil Gheimhridh Frankie Kennedy in Donegal, where she has studied every winter for the last few years. Trained as a classical violist, she took up the fiddle when she was a teenager after hearing Irish traditional music on "The Thistle and Shamrock," National Public Radio's weekly Celtic music program. Since then she has played alongside some of the most respected performers in Irish music and teaches regularly in the Los Angeles area. Email: kira@ciunas.net.
