LKLadyPod #23 Eimear Noone: What's a Conductrix?

<p>Your hosts Ann Blake and Emma Langford are joined over zoom by composer and conductor Eimear Noone. Originally from the village of Kilconnell in Galway, Eímear has spent a large portion of her adult life in LA and is based now in Dublin with her husband and kids. Eímear is best known for her award-winning work on video game music, and composed the score for "<em>World of WarCraft</em>: Warlords of Draenor", which received a "Hollywood Music in Media Award" in 2014. </p> <p>In 2019 Noone made history as the first woman ever to conduct at the Oscars.</p> <p>The conversation veers from managing the working-from-home situation to the importance of role models, taking in sexism in the classical music world, and Eímear explains her self-ordained title of "conductrix". This month's episode is a Limerick Mental Health Week special, and as part of that topic we cover the issue of creative burnout and managing your workload. </p> <p>Learn more about Eímear at <a href= "https://www.polyarts.co.uk/artists/eimear-noone">https://www.polyarts.co.uk/artists/eimear-noone</a> or visit her on twitter @eimearnoone to connect directly </p> <p>Follow Ann on Twitter @annblake78 and Insta @annblakeplay and The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra @bplo </p> <p>Follow all things Emma <a href= "http://www.emmalangfordmusic.com/">www.emmalangfordmusic.com</a> and join her patreon here <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/emmalangford">https://www.patreon.com/emmalangford</a></p> <p>Follow all things Ormston House @ormstonhouse and <a href= "http://www.ormstonhouse.com/">www.ormstonhouse.com</a></p> <p>Recorded with support from Ormston House Feminist Supermarket and The Limerick Post @limerickpost <a href= "http://www.limerickpost.ie">www.limerickpost.ie</a></p> <p>This podcast goes out the third Thursday of every month or 'Thirdsday' - if you will.</p> <p>Follow The Limerick Lady on Twitter @LkLadyHQ Insta @thelimericklady and 'The Limerick Lady' on Facebook</p> <p>Tweet using #LkLadyPod</p>
