Linda Buckley

Linda Buckley is an Irish composer who has written extensively for orchestra (BBC Symphony Orchestra, RTE National Symphony Orchestra), and has a particular interest in merging the worlds of post punk, folk and ambient electronica. She is “one of the leading figures in the thriving Irish new music scene” (Christopher Fox, Tempo) with her work praised by Iggy Pop on BBC Radio 6 as “beautiful music – here is somebody really, really special” and “engaging with an area of experience that new music is generally shy of, which, simplified and reduced to a single word, I’d call ecstasy” (Bob Gilmore, Journal of Music). Recent collaborations include work with experimental folk duo Anna & Elizabeth, poet Doireann Ní Ghríofa as well as premieres by Hebrides Ensemble, Contempo Quartet, Icebreaker, Iarla O’Lionaird, Joby Burgess (Barbican commission), Ensemble Mise-En and Crash Ensemble. In 2019 she was invited by John Schaefer’s New Sounds Live (WNYC) to present the New York premiere of a new live score to the silent horror film Nosferatu (co-composed with Irene Buckley) at Brookfield Place. Linda holds a Music Degree from University College Cork and a Masters in Music and Media Technologies and PhD in Composition from Trinity College Dublin. In 2021 she was elected to Aosdána and co-scored (with Irene Buckley) Fritz Lang's Metropolis and Nothing Compares film on Sinead O'Connor which premiered at Sundance.
