In reference to a concert she performed at Beethovenfest Bonn, the General Anzeiger wrote, "This is a special genre of vocal art, called sean nós...in this type of singing O'Leary is a master." She has recorded over twenty critically acclaimed albums with her band Dúlra and the celebrated early music ensembles Sequentia, The Harp Consort, Joglaresa, eX among others. Her recording of The Wexford Carols (producer Joe Henry, guest artists Tom Jones, Rosanne Cash, Rhiannon Giddens, Dónal Lunny) reached #1 on Billboard. She has worked closely with many of early music's leading artists including Christopher Hogwood, Ben Bagby, Andrew Lawrence King, Konrad Junghaenel, Pedro Memelsdorff, Hille Perl, Lee Santana and many others. Caitríona has toured and performed throughout the world and regularly performs at top Festivals in Europe and beyond.

On 10th July 2020 Heresy Records (www.heresyrecords.com) will release The Red Book of Ossory, the debut album by Anakronos, an ensemble of leading early music, jazz and contemporary classical virtuosi which was founded by Caitriona O'Leary.
