Sarah Lynch is an award-winning composer whose vivid and emotionally rich scores have brought life to an array of films, television series, documentaries, commercials, and games.

She is best known for her collaboration with director Paddy Breathnach on Element Pictures’ BAFTA- craft nominated and IFTA winning series The Dry, written by Nancy Harris. Scoring both Seasons 1 and 2 — with Season 3 now in production — Sarah’s work on the series earned her the Irish Film and Television Award (IFTA) for Original Music in 2023 and a further nomination in 2025.

Other projects of Sarah’s include Joan Baez: I Am a Noise, the acclaimed Magnolia Pictures documentary, which takes an intimate and unflinching look at the legendary folk singer’s life, activism, and musical journey. Its “gorgeous musical score” (The Washington Post) was praised for its spellbinding atmosphere; The Unreal, a four-part family series for RTÉ; the feature documentary George Platt Lynes, about the celebrated American photographer known for his provocative and highly stylized portraits of male nudes in the early 20th century.

A collaborator with composer Stephen Rennicks, Sarah has contributed to major projects such as Death of a Ladies’ Man, starring Gabriel Byrne, and the Bafta-winning, Emmy and Golden Globe nominated BBC3/Hulu series Normal People. 

A classically trained violinist and pianist with a background in traditional and folk music, Sarah seamlessly blends her roots in folk, experimental, and rock music into scores that are both intuitive and strikingly dynamic.

Beyond composing, Sarah has performed and recorded with renowned artists including Hozier, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Glen Hansard, Paul Brady, Shane McGowan, Mundy, Mumford and Sons, and Ed Sheeran. She has also worked closely with many celebrated Irish artists, arranging music for legends such as Mary Black and John Sheahan.

 

Sarah’s work has been widely recognized. In 2019, she was selected as one of just 12 composers worldwide for the prestigious ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop, culminating in a 65-piece orchestral session at Fox Studios. That same year, she received the Michelle and Dean Kay Award at the Lincoln Center in New York from the ASCAP Foundation. Her compositions have earned nominations for the Peer Rabin Music Award at Soundtrack Cologne and the Jerry Goldsmith Award for Transient Thoughts. Sarah is represented by Juliet Martin at Silverstream Music.
