Come and join Gwendolyn Masin for this special 30 minute Q&A session with one of our newest faculty members, Cliodhna Ryan. Gwendolyn will ask Cliodhna all about her upcoming course, what drove her to that line of study, and why she thinks musicians can benefit so much from learning aspects of entrepreneurship, psychology, and business when creating artistic programmes.
Cliodhna enjoys a diverse career as a violinist. As a member of the Rothko String Trio, she made her London debut to critical acclaim at the Purcell Room in 2005. She has given world premieres of works by Donnacha Dennehy, Gerald Barry, Ian Wilson and Linda Buckley amongst others, and has performed with the Vanbrugh String Quartet, Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, Chroma, Crash Ensemble and s t a r g a z e. She is a member of the Irish Chamber Orchestra, and is frequently engaged as principal violinist with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra and the National Symphony Orchestra. Her education has taken her from the Royal Academy of Music in London to Dallas as a Fulbright Scholar. Recently, she spent two winters as artist-in-residence at the Banff Centre for the Arts, Canada.
Cliodhna recently completed a PG in Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship from Trinity College Dublin, and will be delivering workshops on these subjects to students across Ireland in 2022. In addition to this, she has taken part in the Clore Leadership Small Group Conversations and has begun coaching and leadership training.
