Composer Eimear Noone celebrates ballet icon Ninette de Valois

From conducting the Oscars in 2020 to composing scores for videogames like World of Warcraft (which has been enjoyed by over 100 million gamers) as well as scoring for film and television, Eímear Noone is an Irish force of nature in the global world of music. She hails from the East Galway village of Kilconnell, and splits her time between her home place and Los Angeles.

Eimear's latest project is a special commission from the West Wicklow Festival to commemorate another Irish creative force: the Wicklow-born ballet icon Ninette de Valois, dancer, teacher, choreographer and director of classical ballet. Most notably, she danced with Ballets Russes and was a founder of the Royal Ballet.
