Eímear Noone is a Los Angeles/Dublin-based conductor and award-winning Irish composer, composing extensively for film and video games. 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. Through her music on World of Warcraft, Eímear’s music has reached over 100 million people and continually inspired players to invent and build new worlds for nearly 15 years. Her composition portfolio of 28 film and video-game titles have received multiple industry accolades including the Hollywood Music in Media Award for Best Video Game Score.
Eímear 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 composed the score 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, and she’s currently working on various other global film, TV, animation and game soundtracks. She 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), creating haunting music for thrillers Mirrors and The Hole.
Alongside composing, Eímear conducts orchestras worldwide, including the Royal Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, Singapore Symphony, Pittsburg Symphony and Sydney Symphony.
