Hailing from Co. Donegal, Ireland, Dylan Donegan is a London based harpsichordist. Dylan’s journey as a harpsichordist began with undertaking harpsichord lessons under Rachel Factor at TU Dublin Conservatoire, where he completed his BMus(Performance) and a Postgraduate Diploma (Performance). Following these degrees, Dylan’s harpsichord studies brought him to the Royal Academy of Music, London for a Master’s in Historical Performance. Here, Dylan studied harpsichord, clavichord, and fortepiano with Carole Cerasi and continuo with James Johnstone.

Some of his recent performances include a concert as part of London Handel Festival with Baroque violinist Rachel Podger for Handel House and claiming first prize at the Nancy Nuttall Early Music Competition 2025 at the Royal Academy of Music. He also has been part of a recording project for a 2025 RTÉ Lyric Feature titled ‘Black Syren’ which tells the story of Black Irish Soprano Rachel Baptiste. Dylan was selected as the 2026 recipient of the McCullagh - O'Briain Emerging Artist Award for Limerick Early Music Festival where he will perform as a solo performer in the Festival's opening concert. Dylan is currently preparing to begin a PhD focusing on the performance of the music of Beethoven, Haydn and Mozart on harpsichord.
