PS 25 – A Solo Scottish Harp Concert by Maeve Gilchrist

Maeve Gilchrist is described by one critic as “a phenomenal harp player who can make her instrument ring with unparalleled purity.” Maeve Gilchrist has taken the Celtic (lever) harp to new levels of performance and visibility.

Born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland, and currently based in Brooklyn, New York, Maeve‘s innovative approach to her instrument stretches its harmonic limits and improvisational possibilities. She is as at home as a soloist with an internationally renowned orchestra as she is playing with a traditional Irish folk group or using electronic augmentation in a more contemporary, improvisatory setting.

Maeve has released five albums to date, including her most recent 2020 recording, The Harpweaver.
