"Harpist Bridget Kibbey made it seem as though
her instrument was waiting all its life to explode
with the gorgeous colors and energetic figures
she was getting from it."- New York Times

Acclaimed Harpist Bridget Kibbey comes to the Cinemaâs Sky Room Cafe with a program
of classical music with a Celtic tinge.
Bridgetâs 2008-2009 season highlights included a Weill Hall Recital at Carnegie Hall, concerto
appearances with the Tallahassee Symphony, the American premier of Sebastian Currier's
Broken Minuets for Harp and Strings, the New York premier of Elliott Carter's Mosaic in Carnegie
Hall's Zankel Hall, performances of Osvaldo Golijov's Ayre with Dawn Upshaw, and solo recitals
in Chicago, Philadelphia, and New York.
Ms. Kibbey has been featured as soloist with the Juilliard Symphony, Israel Youth
Philharmonic, and the Eastern Philharmonic Orchestra. As an orchestral harpist she has
appeared with the New York Philharmonic, Boston Symphony, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra,
Orchestra of St. Luke's, and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. She was one of a hand-selected
group of emerging artists to perform in the Zankel Band for the inaugural concert in Carnegie's
Zankel Hall, under the direction of John Adams.
Bridget Kibbey recently self-released a solo album entitled Love is Come Again, named one of 2007's Top Ten Albums by Time Out
New York. She also joined soprano Dawn Upshaw in recording Luciano Berio's Folk Songs and Osvaldo Golijov's Ayre for Deutsche
Grammophon. Ms. Kibbey's solo performances have been broadcast on NPR's Performance Today and WQXR.
