Ina Boyle was a prolific composer. The majority of her huge output is still in manuscript form and unperformed. A priority for us is to make all the music accessible for performance through the  digital typesetting of the music manuscripts so that all of her music can be performed and enjoyed.  This is a huge task because of the volume of  her compositions that you will find listed in this section.

Find out more about the work to bring Ina Boyle’s music to life on our research and news and events page.

The Ina Boyle Society are constantly working with musicians, charities, organisations and educational institutions to keep an updated catalogue of Ina Boyle’s music and availability. We hope that you enjoy finding out more about this incredible collection of music, and we would love to hear from you if you plan on including them in a performance or research!
