Eileen has provided beautiful harp music over the years for many weddings, cocktail hours, garden parties and other events.

While her training began by studying classical harp technique, Eileen’s focus has always been on Irish tunes in the traditional style. She developed her skills while performing with her late husband, fiddler Jim McIntyre. Eileen has continued her study of traditional Irish harp music with some of today’s great Irish harpers, among them Michael Rooney and Gráinne Hambly.

By day Eileen works as a certified harp therapist, playing her portable harp for the sick and elderly in nursing homes and hospitals in New Jersey and Staten Island.

Lesl’s extensive experience - in harp-flute duos, music groups, and as a flute accompanist - has served her well as a teacher of the Irish concert flute.

A long apprenticeship with the late Irish flute icon Mike Rafferty firmly grounded her in the tradition, and she imparts this to her students and all who hear her. Author of the two award-winning Rafferty tune books, she teaches Irish traditional music from her home studio.

Lesl specializes in the repertoire and fluid style of East Galway, as well as music from all over Ireland. She has appeared with original Chieftains flutist Michael Tubridy & Msgr. Fr. Charlie Coen in Philadelphia, and has played for numerous events, including receptions, conferences, radio, television, and the New Jersey Folk Festival.

More information on Lesl can be found at her own music page and the Rafferty books website.
