A solicitor, attorney-at-law (NY) and CEDR-accredited mediator by profession, Linda practised as a corporate lawyer in New York and London with Debevoise & Plimpton. Since returning to Ireland, she has worked in the public, private and voluntary sectors across a broad spectrum of law, banking, government, education, health, disability and the arts. Linda founded Music Education Action Group to promote peripatetic instrumental music education in primary schools (which ultimately led to Music Generation), and she was an early instigator of the BA in Composition degree at RIAM. She also holds an MEconSc in Public Policy, the thesis for which examined the living and working conditions of composers in Ireland.

 

While working at the Contemporary Music Centre, Linda developed an increased profile at home and abroad for the work of composers and performers of contemporary music from Ireland through development of new collaboration and promotion partnerships, international showcases and creative projects. She also supported composers and performers through a range of collaboration programmes such as CMC Colleagues, NMDX and Coffee Catch Ups. Linda has extensive board and corporate governance experience, including Chairperson of the Dublin International Chamber Music Festival.

 

In addition to serving as General Manager of Resurgam, Linda is a freelance music promoter.
