About

I am a multidisciplinary musician, educator, and media practitioner with a deep commitment to historical performance and cross-disciplinary collaboration. My work spans performance, research, teaching, and media production, linking medieval and traditional repertoires with contemporary audiences and contexts. I lead and contribute to projects that explore the intersections of musicology, performance practice, and education, while also producing and presenting content across radio, festivals, and new media.

As founder of Now and Then Media and formerly General Manager of Resurgam Choir CLG, I oversee artistic direction, festival planning, recordings, and educational initiatives. I also host Vox Nostra on RTÉ lyric fm, write for diverse publications, and cultivate interdisciplinary partnerships that bring Early Music into public and academic spaces.

Since 2015, I have been involved in creating radio intervals, short 18-20 minute podcast formats which are broadcast on air during the live concert interval for RTÉ lyric fm Lyric Live evening concerts. These intervals involve commissioning from RTÉ lyric fm producers, research, scriptwriting, VO link recording, editing, mixing, and mastering before delivery. These have built upon my previous experience working as programme writer for NPR-syndicated programme ‘Harmonia’ in the USA and for the European Early Music Network’s REMAradio podcast.
