Hayley Kavanagh is an Irish saxophonist, flautist and composer who has made a name for herself on the Dublin scene.
She has performed with her own projects at some of Ireland’s most notable jazz events and venues, including the International Bray Jazz Festival, Scott’s Jazz Club, The Cooler, and Arthur’s Blues & Jazz Club.
Hayley started playing classical flute at the age of seven but didn’t pick up the saxophone until much later. It was only after spending several years on the vibrant music scenes in Prague and Berlin, that she began to play improvised music. She learnt to improvise predominantly on the bandstand gigging, busking and sitting in at jam sessions before returning to Ireland to pursue a degree in jazz performance at DCU.
Hayley is now based in Dublin where she performs regularly with her own projects, as well as with the RTE Concert Orchestra, the Genuine Jazz Orchestra, So Young Yoon’s Master Album Series, and various other ensembles. She has weekly residencies in the Circular in Rialto and Searson’s of Baggot street and co-hosts the Arthur’s Jazz Jam.
