This Irish born singer, 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, light opera, concerts, recitals, and tours with the National Folk Theatre of Ireland. Now a resident of Los Angeles, her main focus is the performance and recording of Irish song.

     Margaret is one of the few female classical voices in traditional Irish music today, and this authentic and delightful debut recording belongs in every fine Irish music collection.
