Aileen Sweeney
Aileen is a Glaswegian composer and accordionist who studied at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland for both her undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. Aileen’s recent success at The 2021 Scottish Awards for New Music, saw her piece Above the Stars performed by The London Philharmonic Orchestra win the award for ‘Large Scale New Work’ sponsored by PRS. Brought up around folk music, Aileen loves rattling out some reels on the box alongside her work as a contemporary classical composer. As well as composing, Aileen enjoys a natter and co-hosts the Ear to the Ground podcast with Ben Eames, talking to Scottish/Scotland-based composers about their work and promoting their music in partnership
with New Music Scotland. If she’s not composing or gigging with her bands, she can probably be found climbing up a hill, binging on a Netflix documentary or venturing to a Scottish island in her tent.
