Eve Stafford. Limerick soprano Eve Stafford is a graduate of the London College of Music (LLCM) and has studied under Olive Cowpar and Irish baritone Brendan Collins. A multi-award-winning vocalist, Eve has won all major categories at Féile Luimnigh and Feis Maitiú Corcaigh, including first place in Operatic Solo, Oratorio, and Early Music categories and ‘The Voice of the Féile'. She has established a regular presence on the recital stage at St. Mary’s Cathedral, Limerick and Mary I College Chapel. Her concert work includes appearances with the University of Limerick Orchestra, Limerick Choral Union, and the Limerick Early Music Festival. She is also a frequent collaborator with Opera Workshop and the Limerick Opera Festival, and has featured as the soprano soloist for Mozart’s Coronation Mass with the MIC Choral Union.

Through her sold out 'Songbird' classical crossover series, Eve has established a significant presence in the Munster music scene. Her headline concerts and themed programs showcase her passion for storytelling; notably, her collaborations with tenor Eoin Hynes, including the 'Lovebirds' and 'Valentine’s by Candlelight' concerts, were met with significant acclaim. Her bespoke ‘Serenade’ Downton Abbey Concert at the Woodlands also turned heads with her incredible costumes. This resonance is reflected in her recording career; her debut album, Songbird (2024), was widely celebrated, and her single The Room Next Door reached No. 1 on the Irish iTunes charts.

Beyond the stage, Eve is a dedicated advocate for the arts. In 2025, she made history as the first professional singer elected President of Network Ireland Limerick, leading with a focus on arts advocacy, inclusion and community connection. Her insights on artistry and business have led to media appearances, including guest spots on The Limerick Lady podcast. In 2022, Eve was branch winner of the ‘Creative Professional’ Category for the Network Ireland Businesswoman of the Year Awards.

Eve is a central figure in the National Concert Hall’s ‘Health & Harmony’ initiative, having performed over 200 concerts in care settings since 2022. Eve is a regular artist for the NCH 'Tea Dance Tunes' dementia friendly concert series for the 2026 season where she performs with pianist, Niall Kinsella and guests from the NSOI.
