Director of Music Appointed at St Andrew’s Church, Malahide
Eoin Conway has been appointed to the newly created post of Director of Music in St Andrew’s Church, Malahide.
In addition to his duties on a Sunday, Eoin will be responsible for fostering a culture of music centred around St Andrew’s Church involving the wider Malahide community.
Eoin is a singer, conductor, pianist and arranger/composer and is currently organist in St Fintan’s Church, Sutton.
He earned his master’s degree in vocal performance from the Royal Irish Academy of Music in 2016, studying with Lynda Lee, and his bachelor’s degree from NUI Maynooth, majoring in composition.
As a choral singer, Eoin works with Ireland’s professional choral ensembles including Chamber Choir Ireland, Sestina, Lassus and Resurgam.
He has conducted the award–winning choir Cór Fingal since 2018 and is the musical director of ‘4 in a Bar’, a multi award–winning professional male voice quartet.
Eoin has much experience in church music having been a member of Christ Church Cathedral choir for six years and a singer with the Palestrina Choir for three years prior to that.
His arrangements have been commissioned and recorded by several of Ireland’s leading choirs, including the UCD Choral Scholars, New Dublin Voices, and the Irish Youth Choir.
Announcing the appointment, the Revd Canon David Gillespie, Rector of Malahide, said: “We are delighted that Eoin Conway has accepted the position of Director of Music in St Andrew’s Church and I will look forward to working with him. I know he has many ideas about musical events to tie in with the church’s year, and he is keen to build on the solid musical tradition which exists in St Andrew’s.”
Eoin, who is originally from Malahide, will take up his new position in June.
