Biography
Justine Gormley is one of Northern Ireland’s emerging young artists since her invitation from Barry Douglas to perform at the highly respected Clandeboye Music Festival and the Belfast International Chamber Music Festival.
Having initially discovered her love for music as a toddler whilst playing nursery rhymes by ear on the family piano, Justine attended the Royal Northern College of Music for her Batchelor of Music, Master of Music and Artistic Research, and Postgraduate Diploma in Performance. Justine achieved the highest degree classification at each level. Justine studied initially under the tutelage of John Gough, followed by Kathryn Stott from whom she has received guidance for the past three years.
Justine has received notable prizes, including the sought after Irish Heritage Awards following a successful performance at Wigmore Hall, in addition to the Northern Ireland Arts Council (NIAC) Young Musician’s Platform Award. The NIAC award culminated in a solo performance with the Ulster Orchestra conducted by David Brophy, and broadcasts with BBC Radio Ulster.
Aside from her solo engagements, Justine is invested in chamber and orchestral music. She holds a Junior Fellow position at the RNCM and is a London Philharmonic Orchestra Foyle Future Firsts young artist.
