One of Ireland’s foremost chamber musicians, violist Ed Creedon enjoys a dynamic career performing with leading ensembles and musicians.

Born in Cork City, Ed studied with Constantin Zanidache (Academica String Quartet) and Simon Aspell (Vanbrugh Quartet). He has performed extensively across Ireland and internationally, with appearances at the National Concert Hall Chamber Music Gathering and tours to Finland, France, Spain, India, and the United States with Camerata Ireland, including solo performances alongside Barry Douglas.

Since 2016, he has been a regular guest with the Vanbrugh Quartet and, from 2022, a touring member of Vanbrugh & Friends. His chamber music collaborations include performances with the Ficino Ensemble, Musici Ireland, and Evlana Ensemble, as well as appearances at New Music Dublin, Ortús Festival, Dublin International Chamber Music Festival, Clandeboye Festival, Music in Monkstown, Killaloe Festival of Chamber Music, and Waterford Chamber Music Festival.

Ed is the violist of the Lir String Quartet, which was formed at the Clandeboye Festival in 2016. The quartet presents multiple national tours each year, frequently performing to sold-out audiences at the National Concert Hall and championing contemporary music through numerous Irish premieres.

Recent highlights include a national tour with the Solas Quartet, performances in Ireland and Scotland with the Irish Chamber Orchestra, and recording albums of contemporary Irish chamber music with both Musici Ireland and Crash Ensemble. Upcoming projects feature tours with the Lir Quartet, Vanbrugh & Friends, and performances at the Clandeboye and Boyne chamber music festivals.
