One of Ireland's foremost early music artists, Deirdre Moynihan's CD of Vivaldi Cantatas was released by, Naxos, to widespread critical acclaim with The Examiner describing it as a "rare listening pleasure" and International Record Review highlighting a voice "unfailingly beautiful in tone". She has performed as a soloist with, amongst others, the RTÉ Concert Orchestra, RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra, Irish Baroque Orchestra and Irish Chamber Orchestra and and her career includes concerts in Canada, U.S.A, Israel, Brazil, Lebanon, Japan, China and throughout Europe.
