Member of the first Young Academy Ireland
Ann Cleare is one of the first 40 members of the Young Academy Ireland (YAI) network. The Young Academy of Ireland consists of forty members from Ireland and Northern Ireland and members were selected after a competitive recruitment process launched by the Royal Irish Academy last year. The successful candidates include researchers, academics, scientists, innovators, clinicians, economists, and professionals who have each made a significant contribution to their field and beyond their individual disciplines. Members represent a multi-disciplinary platform from the Life Sciences, Physical, Engineering, and Computer Sciences, Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Business and Technology. The YAI is intended to provide ECRIs with more opportunities and increased engagement with their respective fields of study, through the development of skills, networks, and leadership roles.

New Article, A Sense of the Irreversible: an Introduction to the Music of Ann Cleare
Written by Christian Carey, published by Tempo Journal for New Music, Cambridge University Press
An article on the work of Ann Cleare, focusing on representative works that display Cleare’s use of microtonality, unconventional scoring, intermedia, and timbral writing. It also discusses her connection to Irish language and poetry, environmentalism and visual art, noting that: “there are few composers writing today who can eloquently contend with such a plethora of issues, from the geologic history of oceans, to bardic poetry, to the fears elicited by the morning paper or the darkness of night. Cleare is one.”
