Lesl Harker, Irish flute - Teacher and player of the traditional Irish concert flute, Lesl specializes in teaching the repertoire and fluid old-style music of East County Galway. She serves as an Irish-flute mentor for the PA, SC and NJ State Arts Councils' Apprenticeship programs, and teaches privately.
The "Tunes & Tales of Old East Galway" programs ran from 2011-2023, most with piper Jerry O'Sullivan. Drawn from long apprenticeship to legendary flute player Mike Rafferty, a relationship which lasted to the end of his life, she published two award-winning Rafferty tune books beginning in 2005, with an award for them in 2009 from Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann, the international Irish music association.
