Margaret O'Carroll (Soprano)

Irish Soprano, Margaret O'Carroll, a Gold Medallist at the Dublin Feis Ceoil, began her voice and piano studies with her mother, Elizabeth, and continued at the Royal Irish Academy of Music, in Dublin, and the Cork School of Music. Margaret credits her Wexford-born mother for her deep love of storytelling. "She taught me how to sing a song, how to tell a story. 'Sing from your heart' she would say."

Miss O'Carroll has an impressive performance history in her native Ireland, including oratorio (she sang her first Messiah with the late, great Irish tenor Frank Patterson), light opera, concerts, recitals, and tours with the National Folk Theatre of Ireland.

Margaret is one of the few classically trained singers in traditional Irish
music today. Now a resident of Los Angeles, her main focus is the performance and recording of Irish song.

In 2002 her debut CD 'Songs My Mother Taught Me, A Collection of Irish Songs' was submitted to the 45th Annual GRAMMY Awards Committee by Kerry Records for consideration in six categories including Song Of The Year and Best Traditional Folk Album.

"Margaret, whose range is something to wonder at...
will be heard of again and again."
