Eímear Noone, Conductor and Composer

Eímear is an Irish conductor and composer, best known for her award-winning work on video game music. In 2019 she made history as Oscars' first ever female conductor. To become a conductor she studied anything vaguely music-shaped she could find. Now based in California, Eímear has carved out a successful career as a conductor of video game scores, both in the studio and the concert hall. The game music she conducts has unparalleled reach in the orchestral world. Diablo III smashed the record in game sales by selling over 3.5 million copies in the first 24 hours alone. Eímear has conducted orchestras from China to Brazil, Canada to Qatar, Mexico to Malaysia.

Eímear has conducted orchestras from China to Brazil, Canada to Qatar, Mexico to Malaysia. She always listens to AC/DC’s Back in Black before going out on stage, even if the concert is Mozart. Actually, especially if it’s Mozart.

You’re on the right path. Don’t let anyone tell you what you’re capable of. Only you know that.
