ABOUT MAEVE GILCHRIST
Harper, composer and producer.
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 numerous recordings and this performance represents several of her new compositions from her latest EP "Harpweaver." In 2018 Maeve was a featured soloist on the Dreamworks blockbuster movie soundtrack, How to tame your dragon: The hidden world. Maeve was the first lever harpist to be employed as an instructor by her alma mater, Berklee College of Music in Boston, and is now a visiting artist. An in-demand composer and arranger, Maeve is the co-artistic director of the new Celtic Roots and Branches Festival that launched in Rockport MA in summer and the assistant music director of WGBH’s Christmas Celtic Sojourn.

Maeve, I caught a class or two of yours at GMWS last year. Someday, I hope to have a chance to be in the same room with you, and just play whatever comes. Your frequency resonates and makes me yearn to step into the stories you weave.
