Eímear Noone is a Los Angeles and Dublin–based conductor and award-winning composer, writing extensively for film and video games. As one of the world’s premier composers of game scores, Noone is responsible for some of the most enduring soundscapes on World of Warcraft and other best-selling video titles. Through her work on World of Warcraft, her music has reached more than 100 million people and continually inspired players to invent and build new worlds for nearly 15 years. Her composition portfolio of more than 30 film and game titles have received multiple industry accolades including the Hollywood Music in Media Award for Best Video Game Score.

Recently, Noone composed the score for the Channel 5 drama series Maxine and the new production by Stephen Fry based on Oscar Wilde’s short story The Canterville Ghost. She also composed for the animated feature film Two by Two: Overboard, which topped the UK box office in October 2020 and earned her an Ivor Novello nomination for Best Original Film Score.

Alongside composing, Noone conducts orchestras worldwide, including the Royal Philharmonic, BBC Concert Orchestra, Singapore Symphony, Danish National Symphony, Pittsburgh Symphony, Colorado Symphony, Dallas Symphony, and Sydney Symphony, among others. She was chosen by Nintendo to conduct the first ever 3D filming of a game score, and has recorded game scores for Sony Interactive. She has also toured as a conductor with The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses, a full four-movement symphony created from the themes from this iconic video game. Noone was invited to conduct on the 25th Anniversary recording, which set industry records for soundtrack sales. In 2020, she made history by becoming the first female conductor to perform at the Academy Awards ceremony.

Beyond these projects, Noone is constantly innovating new orchestral shows and concepts to expand the boundaries of her repertoire. She recently premiered a completely original show, Daughters of the Pirate Queen: The Spirit of Grace O’Malley, as part of Ireland’s 2023 International Women’s Day Celebration. Selling out the National Concert Hall of Ireland, this show synthesized the work of some of Ireland’s most exciting female performers and songwriters to tell the story of Grainne Mhaol, a legendary pirate queen whose story had gone untold.

As an advocate for creative women in technology and music, Noone is also in demand as a speaker and radio host, regularly invited to conferences and is the presenter for Classic FM’s gaming music show, High Score.
