	<!-~~- Enter~~ the ~~composer's biography here~~ -->		GRAMMY-nominated Irish composer Emma O’Halloran is interested in joy, wonder, hope, and connection, and her music is driven by a desire to capture the magic of what it means to be human. Freely intertwining acoustic and electronic music, Emma has written for folk musicians, chamber ensembles, turntables, laptop orchestra, symphony orchestra, opera, and theatre, and her work has been described as “intensely beautiful” (Washington Post) and “unencumbered, authentic, and joyful” (I Care If You Listen).
	~~<!-~~- <ref>~~putsourcehere~~</ref> ~~-->~~
			Known for her unique ability to fuse elements of pop, rock, and electronic music while exploring the colours and textures of acoustic instruments, her work has found a wide audience and has been featured at various music festivals such as Classical NEXT, Cork International Choral Festival, PODIUM Esslingen, New Music Dublin, Tokyo’s Born Creative Festival, and Bang on a Can LOUD Weekend. Additionally, her music has been performed by Crash Ensemble, Chamber Choir Ireland, ensemble reflector, Kaleidoscope Chamber Orchestra, PRISM Saxophone Quartet, and the Irish National Symphony Orchestra, amongst others.

			In recent years, Emma’s passion for storytelling has led her to explore multidisciplinary projects such as soundwalks and opera. She has written works for Irish National Opera, Boston Lyric Opera, Beth Morrison Projects, and her recent operas, TRADE and Mary Motorhead, received rave reviews from their performances at LA Opera and New York’s PROTOTYPE Festival with the LA Times calling her “a kind of modern-day Monteverdi”.

			Emma loves working with people of all ages to explore and create music, and she has served as a mentor for various composition programmes in Ireland and the United States. In 2021, in partnership with the Irish National Concert Hall, she founded the Creative Lab, an award-winning mentorship programme for young composers from traditionally underrepresented groups in music composition. Emma holds a Ph.D. in Music Composition from Princeton University and is currently working as a freelance composer. <ref>https://www.emma-ohalloran.com/</ref>
