She has collaborated with many of the most respected artists in Irish traditional music and across genres, and her work is noted for its musical sensitivity, rhythmic clarity and deep respect for tradition.

Muireann is also a highly sought-after tutor, teaching flute, song and traditional music interpretation at festivals, summer schools and universities throughout Ireland and internationally.
