Maeve Gilchrist

Valentines Day Delight - Harpist, Singer, Composer.

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 tours internationally as a band leader as well as maintaining a number of collaborations including a duo with project with percussive dancer Nic Gareiss, her more electronics based project with Viktor Krauss and as a member of the Irish network commissioned ‘Edges of Light’ quartet: a multidisciplinary group featuring the piper David Power, dancer Colin Dunne and the fiddler Tola Custy.

She has appeared at such major music events as Celtic Connections in Glasgow, Tanglewood Jazz festival, the World Harp Congress in Amsterdam and the opening of the Scottish Parliament. She has played with such luminaries as Kathy Mattea, Esperanza Spalding, Tony Trishka, Ambrose Akinmusire and Darol Anger.
