The Chicago Harp Quartet was founded in 2012, and is the leading harp ensemble in the United States. It is dedicated to presenting innovative programs that include original transcriptions, as well as new commissions from composers across the globe.
The quartet has performed at major concert venues across the U.S., including Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center and the Curtis Institute of Music.
As part of Chicago Harp Quartet's mission, the ensemble collaborates with other cutting-edge artists, including Third Coast Percussion, Mozawa, and Ho Etsu Taiko, and continues their educational efforts with educational residencies at institutions such as Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music, New York University and Play On Philly!
The Chicago Harp Quartet has performed on WFMT Chicago, at the Lyon & Healy festivals and concerts, at the 41st National Conference of the American Harp Society in New Orleans, on the Norton Building Series, and on the Dame Myra Hess Concert Series at the Chicago Cultural Center.
In 2014, the quartet released its debut CD, "Soirées d'été." Immediately after its Northwest Suburban Community Concert Association presentation, the quartet is off to performances in Havana, Cuba.
