Principal Conductor of National Youth Choir (9-15 Years) is a new role, designed to deliver and oversee the musical training of our youngest singers, work alongside our fantastic creative team, and develop pathways into singing for all young people.

Lynsey is Head of Programmes, Research and Academics at the Royal Irish Academy of Music. She is the Founding Artistic Director of Dublin Youth Choir and the Cross Border Youth Choir, Artistic Director of the Belfast Philharmonic Youth and Chamber Choirs, and Music Director of Tallaght Choral Society.

Following a bachelor’s degree in music education, she completed a master’s degree in choral conducting at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, an MBA in arts innovation at the Global Leaders Institute, and a doctorate in musicology at Trinity College Dublin. 

The National Youth Choir is an inspiring organisation, bringing together so many wonderful young people with diverse experiences to create excellent music. I am immensely grateful to have an opportunity to play a role in this organisation, and I look forward to working with the team to continue and expand on this important work.
