Hailed as “a top-notch fiddle-and-guitar duo” by The New York Times, Dana Lyn and Kyle Sanna connect the dots between their experience as composers and improvisers in New York City’s rich musical community and their deep admiration for traditional Irish music. Rooted in this tradition, the branches of Lyn and Sanna’s collaboration extend to include projected animations, augmented reality, dance, video, and orchestral compositions.

“Bursting with creativity” - fiddler Kevin Burke

The duo has collaborated with some of the greatest interpreters of Irish music, including Martin Hayes and Dennis Cahill, Cillian Vallely, Kevin Burke, Mick McAuley, and Seamus Egan, and with choreographers Darrah Carr Byrne, Catherine Gallant, and Seán Curran. They have received commissions from New York’s Irish Arts Center and from Palaver Strings. The duo's music will be featured on the upcoming film by Ken Burns, The American Revolution. Their projects “The Great Arc”, “The Coral Suite”, and “Under the Sea-Wind” are focused on themes of environmental fragility.

“Dana Lyn and Kyle Sanna have figured out how to express Irish music as a truly universal music language.” - fiddler Martin Hayes
