Eimear Noone grew up in the tiny village of Kilconnell, Galway, loving every musical genre. When she was not practicing classical passages on her flute, she was listening to pop, rock or the symphonic concert music of popular video games. It’s no wonder the accomplished Irish conductor-composer has captured hearts of Nintendo fans as she conducts symphony orchestras performing “The Legend of Zelda” while graphics from the videos play on giant screens.
“It’s a fun show,” she promised. “Being an Irish immigrant, I’m very excited to conduct the National Symphony Orchestra that I’ve known about and admired for years. Like everyone in my generation, I’ve loved the music in this program since my childhood and am crazy about the arrangements. My background is in classical music, so I knew from the start that this is a symphonic score.”
