Who is Balloon maestro?
I’m Sean Rooney, born to Irish parents in London, Canada, and an innovative balloon artist/performer with Performances/installations in over 30 countries. Now based in Toronto.

Playing some Jazz on a balloon at Lula Lounge in Toronto
Geometry and harmony mix and mingle in my work; balloon arrangements are treated like musical arrangements. And the music is not just metaphor- I also play music on balloon instruments of my own invention.
