Eímear Noone is an LA-based conductor and award-winning Irish composer, composing extensively for film and such video games as World of Warcraft.

As one of the world’s premier composers of games scores, Eímear is responsible for some of the most enduring soundscapes on World of Warcraft and other best-selling video games. Her composition portfolio of 26 film and video-game titles have received multiple industry accolades including the “Hollywood Music in Media Award” for “Best Video Game Score”. Eímear has also worked on film scores for directors such as Gus Van Sant and Joe Dante, orchestrating for Oscar nominee Javier Navarrette (composer of “Pan’s Labyrinth”).

Eímear works closely with Base Hologram and is the primary conductor for their “Callas in Concert” Tour, an event that brings the opera legend Maria Callas back to the stage via hologram with a full live orchestra.

In addition to media concerts, Eímear’s work has featured classical repertoire such as Scheherazade (Rimsky-Korsakov), The Firebird (Stravinsky) and The New World Symphony (Dvořák). Highlights of Eímear’s engagements include conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, BBC Concert Orchestra, Singapore Symphony Orchestra and Danish National Symphony, performing at sold-out shows at The Mann Center, Wolftrap and Beijing’s Olympic Stadium to an audience of 80,000 and for the Los Angeles Ballet in their inaugural production of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker, earning recognition from the LA Times.
