Virginia Giglio
She’s a Yank who became a proud Irish citizen in 2023. Performing on flute since age 8, she won voice and flute scholarships from college through PhD in music. An internationally recognized scholar in the music and culture of Native Americans, her eclectic professional career has included college teaching, web and graphic design, flower farming, tailoring, chaplaincy, and art. After moving from Oklahoma, US to Cork, Ireland in 2018, she has played flute and piccolo and sung solos with the Cork Light Orchestra. A full-time artist and musician, the Cork Echo quotes her: “I think that 70 must be the new 30.” She produced the sold-out show Virginia’s Ginormous Recital in July 2026 at The Pavilion for the benefit of Cork Penny Dinners.
