Consultancy

Music consultancy includes working with clients to find music to create the right flow of atmospheres and to highlight key messages during their events.

Having studied musicology, composition, and church music, I am well aware of the power of music, especially in the context of liturgy, theatre, and film. I love working with clients to apply this sensitivity to their events.

As a singer, I understand the practicalities of live performance and the needs of musicians. My work in remembrance has given me a sensitivity for military and international protocol. I enjoy working behind the scenes and finding the best artists for an event.

Used well, music is a powerful tool. It can direct the public’s attention in both time and space. It can be used to create atmospheres, highlight messages, and suggest a time for silence or a time for social interaction.

Highlights include planning the music for the Dutch artist Casper Faassen‘s twenty-year retrospective exhibition. For the Christina Noble Children’s Foundation, I designed a fundraising concert in Westport, Ireland, using music and text to tell the story of the foundation. Recently, I worked with the Commonwealth War Graves’ Commission, researching historically-fitting music for the reopening of the Thiepval Memorial to the Missing of the Somme in 2023.
