Hifilutin was first formed in 2006 with Eilís O’Sullivan, Maria Mulcahy, Katrina Emtage and Kate Chisholm. In 2006-07 they gave concerts in Cork and in Muckross House, Killarney, before disbanding as personal circumstances changed. In 2018, they regrouped with Aoife O’Donovan taking the place of Kate Chisholm. Since then, they have performed for Cork Vision Centre, North Main Street, at the Crawford Art Gallery and at Cork Airport’s Christmas Gala Concert. They were due to perform with the Birmingham Flute Choir at the
MTU Cork School of Music in Spring 2020, when COVID-19 restrictions resulted in the cancellation of the concert.
