Meet Anna Darmanska – Celtic Flutist in Atlanta
Flutist, multi-instrumentalist, and collaborative artist blending Celtic traditions with classical craft.
Anna’s work sits at the intersection of tradition and presentation. Trained as a classical flutist and shaped by years of international performance, she approaches Celtic and folk music with clarity, intention, and respect for its roots—while presenting it in a way that feels modern, elegant, and accessible.
Whether performing solo, collaborating with other musicians, or shaping the atmosphere of an event, her focus remains the same: music that enhances the moment rather than competes with it.

Anna performs on Irish flute, tin whistle, low whistle, classical flute, and Spanish gaita. This multi-instrumental approach allows her to tailor sound, texture, and energy to different venues—from intimate indoor spaces to outdoor stages.
In addition to performing, Anna is an experienced flute and piano teacher, working with private students and with CMC Atlanta. Teaching remains an important part of her musical life and informs her clear, communicative approach on stage and in rehearsals.
