Prior to the role of Head of Cultural Affairs at the Consulate General of Ireland in Los Angeles, Síobhra established her career in the arts as a vocalist, composer and creative producer.

As an artist, Síobhra’s work was supported by Culture Ireland to perform internationally at the Centre Culturel Irlandais (Paris), the American Irish Historical Society (NYC), Pro Arts Gallery (Oakland, California), and The Irish Arts & Writers Festival (Los Gatos, California). Under the moniker of ‘sfiiinx’ Síobhra’s debut audio-visual album The Magma Chamber was created with support from the Arts Council of Ireland, and released by Ergodos in January 2022 to critical acclaim:

‘...these seven compositions portray a composer and vocalist embracing the union of her influences. The visual component of the album, directed by Laura Sheeran, is a compelling companion piece that brings further verve to these dark but wonderful compositions.’ -Andrea Cleary, The Journal of Music

As a creative producer, Síobhra gravitates towards interdisciplinary and intercultural collaborations, including This Land at The National Concert Hall Dublin and The Civic Theatre (2019), Leide Beag as part of Galway 2020, pop-up contemporary opera Xenia by Nick Roth, as part of Bealtaine Festival (2018 & 2019) and Culture Night (2018). Síobhra was producer of Opera Theatre Company’s Opera Hub, including a 24hr Opera, Opera Cinema Club, and a reimagining of the Cabinet of Dr Caligari at Electric Picnic (2016-2017).

Síobhra was an Associate Producer with Irish production company South Wind Blows, working on production, admin support, and exhibition strategies of SWB documentaries (Keepers of the Flame, Henry Glassie Fieldwork, The Dance), and festival production and curation, including Other Voices, ANAM, and Ireland’s Edge (2017-2021).

In her current role as Head of Cultural Affairs at the Consulate General of Ireland in Los Angeles, Síobhra works jointly with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Culture Ireland to support the growth of contemporary Irish arts in the Western, Southern and Central United States. Síobhra was included in the Sunday Business Post’s list of Irish Innovators to look out for in 2024, commenting that in her role as Head of Cultural Affairs she ‘has quickly become the face representing Irish contemporary cultural talent abroad.’ -Sinead O’Sullivan, Sunday Business Post
