Saturday, February 04, 2023Harpist Bridget Kibbey brings three performances from classical to world music to the Twin CitiesBridget Kibbey has the world at her fingertips. While her training on the concert harp has made her one of her instrument's most renowned classical soloists, the Ohio native also uses it as a vehicle to explore the musical traditions of any culture that's had an ancestor of the modern harp in its history. That's most of them. This week, you can catch both Kibbey the classical virtuoso and Kibbey the world music purveyor, with a dash of the music educator, too. It's all part of being this season's featured artist for the Schubert Club, the 140-year-old St. Paul-based presenter of recitals, chamber music and adventurous genre-benders. "Bridget is not only incredibly virtuosic, she's also a great communicator onstage, both through her music and through talking to the audience," said Barry Kempton, the Schubert Club's artistic and executive director. "She's also a clever, creative and thoughtful curator and programmer who has a passion for collaboration with artists from different musical cultures. She's one of the best kind of musicians to see live." Check out the full article at the link below!
Thursday, February 02, 2023Concert Review: Harpist Bridget Kibbey brings Middle East to Hannaford Hall"...Once she applied her fingers to her large concert harp, it was clear that she was a formidable musician, fluent in the “modes, colors, and drones” within music that carries the weight of history."

Friday, December 09, 2022Review: Spectacular Soloists at Chamber Music Society--Countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo, Oboist Ja

Called the "Yo-Yo Ma of the harp," by Vogue’s Senior Editor Corey Seymour,
harpist Bridget Kibbey “…makes it seems as though he instrument had been waiting all its life to explode with the energetic figures and gorgeous colors she was getting from it [The New York Times].”

With the harp as her muse, Kibbey is in demand for her virtuosic and soulful performances —excavating centuries of music as a soloist and alongside today’s top performing artists — from the French Belle Époque, to the Baroque, to Persian Modes, to Latin Jazz traditions and beyond.

This season, Kibbey is the artist in residence at Minneapolis/St. Paul’s The Schubert Club, bringing in three projects, three genres! She curates and tours her own programMing via series across North America — from Portland Ovations, to Calgary’s Pro Musica, to the Phillips Collection and beyond. She appears as featured soloist with the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra for 40,000 attendees in their “Concert on Capital Square,” launching her own transcription of Rodrigo’s Concierto Aranjuez, finishes world-premiere performances of Joao Luiz’s new harp concerto, exploring the sounds of Brazilian Carnaval on the harp, as well as various Mozart Flute and Harp and Handel Harp Concerto appearances. This season, Kibbey curates a six-concert season for MOSA Concerts, based in her Northern Manhattan neighborhood- pairing the concert harp with harp traditions from around the world —from the African Kora to the Turkish Kanun. By featuring musicians who call Uptown Manhattan home, she’s establishing hyper-local performing arts at its best, while illuminating cultural narratives from the stage. Kibbey shares her passion for hosting her neighbors while sharing the origin stories that evolved into the classical music we love today.
In short, from the nation’s top concert halls to night clubs, Kibbey is illuminating the powerful expressive range of the harp by placing it center stage, as soloist or alongside today’s top performing artists.

Kibbey recently made her solo NPR Tiny Desk Debut, is a winner of a prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant, a Salon de Virtuosi SONY Recording Grant, the only harpist to win a place in the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s Bowers Program, Premiere Prix at the Journées de les Harpes Competition in Arles, France, among others. She has toured and recorded with luminaries Placido Domingo, Dawn Upshaw, Kathleen Battle and Gustavo Santaollalo for SONY Records and Deutsche Grammaphon; and, her own debut album, Love is Come Again, was named one of the Top Ten Releases by Time Out New York. Ms. Kibbey's solo performances have been broadcast on NPR's Performance Today, New York's WQXR, WNYC's Soundcheck, WETA’s Front Row Washington, WRTI’s Crossover, and on television in A&E's Breakfast with the Arts. She has been profiled in Vogue, Time Out New York, The Harp Column, and UK’s MUSO Magazine.

This season, Kibbey is the 2022/23 Artist in Focus at the Schubert Club in Minneapolis, Minnesota, bringing three programs of her own creation to the city via performances, engagement and educational activities. She appears as soloist with Artists of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, presents a newly-commissioned concerto by Brazilian composer Joao Luiz Rezende with the Atlantic Classical Orchestra, and presents her own programming at the Phillips Club, Portland Ovations, Chamber Music Columbus, Calgary Pro Musicis, Chattanooga’s String Theory, among others.

She presents duo recitals with violinist Alexi Kenney, in works of Saint-Seans, Bach, Biber, Currier, Messiaen, Clark, Schumann, and Rodrigo. She launches her newest project, Persia to Iberia, alongside Persian singer Mahsa Vahdat and percussionist John Hadfield, traversing the sounds of the Islamic Golden Era, up through the Maghreb to 16th century Spain; and, continues her project, Bach to Brazil, alongside Latin-Grammy winning percussionist/composer Samuel Torres and clarinetist Louis Arques, in works of Jacob de Bandolim, Jose Barros, Paquito d’Rivera, Samuel Torres, and Juan Manuel Plaza. Finally, she presents an all French-masterworks program, in works of Debussy, Ravel, Boulanger, and Caplet, alongside the Calidore Quartet.

Kibbey has toured and recorded with luminaries Placido Domingo, Dawn Upshaw, Kathleen Battle and Gustavo Santaollalo for SONY Records and Deutsche Grammaphon; and, her own debut album, Love is Come Again, was named one of the Top Ten Releases by Time Out New York. Ms. Kibbey's solo performances have been broadcast on NPR's Performance Today, New York's WQXR, WNYC's Soundcheck, WETA’s Front Row Washington, WRTI’s Crossover, and on television in A&E's Breakfast with the Arts. She has been profiled in Vogue, Time Out New York, The Harp Column, and UK’s MUSO Magazine.

She appears frequently as soloist and chamber musician at festivals and series across the globe, including Schloss Elmau, Pelotas Festival, Lincoln Center’s Mostly Mozart, La Jolla Music Society, International Festival d’Avesnois, Aspen, Bravo!Vail, Santa Fe, Spoleto, Big Ears Knoxville, Chamber Music Northwest, Bridgehampton, Savannah Music Festival, and Music@Menlo, among others. Kibbey has appeared as concerto soloist with orchestras in the United States, Europe, South America, and Middle East.

Like a Yo-Yo Ma of the harp…Within a few seconds Kibbey has given the harp an outsized personality and ethereal purity, like a piano set free of its hammers and heavy case.Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The star of this particular evening [Carnegie Hall, Classical Recording Foundation Awards] was harpist Bridget Kibbey. While the classical concert harp probably isn’t the first instrument that you would think of as being badass, Kibbey makes it that way. Praised for her DIY aesthetic, she lends her unorthodox virtuosity and powerful attack to a nonstop series of new commissions…Lucid Culture
Harpist Bridget Kibbey's recital at the Phillips Collection on Sunday went from beauty to rarefied beauty in an eclectic hour-long program. The dazzling runs, complex poly-rhythmic figures and chiming of bell-like harmonics all made their effect, thanks as much to Kibbey's formidable technique as to the canny writing of the composers and arrangers on offer...Joe BannoThe Washington Post

"...the marvelous harpist Bridget Kibbey...

Even after the stranger's arrival -- Kibbey knocked on her harp's wooden frame -- the piece retains its sheer beauty. Sunday, in the final suspense-filled moments, the harpist seemed to be gathering up baskets of opulent sound, bundles of arpeggios, floating them out into the concert hall."Richard ScheininMercury News- San Jose, CA

Kibbey was an especially dynamic presence, not just in her playing -- she took a virtuoso turn with the quartet in Debussy's "Danses sacrée et profane," a performance marked by crisp phrasing and driving energy -- but also in her remarks to the audience. The format of these concerts involves musicians' comments from the stage in lieu of program notes, and there's generally a certain level of endearing awkwardness involved, but Kibbey took to the microphone like a seasoned pro after Debussy's Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp, briefly explaining with clarity and confidence the significance of the piece (it was the first major work for those forces) and relating the music to Debussy's life (he was dying of cancer when he wrote it, and the first movement hints at the narcotic fog he was experiencing). An Avery Fisher Career Grant winner, she's a student of former CMNW regular Nancy Allen, so her appearance carried a sense of the torch being passed...James McQuillenOregonian

Everything about Love Is Come Again, from its unconventionally attractive packaging to Adam Abeshouse's exquisite recording, attests to Kibbey's professionalism and imagination. Perhaps inspiration would be a better term, given this program of underexposed works by innovative composers moved to write for the instrument after encountering a major player. À la Française, the first of André Caplet's Divertissements, offers the frilly ripples one would expect in a solo-harp recital, but Kibbey's range of touch in the second, À l'Espagnole, forecasts subtler pleasures ahead. Performances of Germaine Tailleferre's Sonata, Benjamin Britten's Suite for Harp and Elliott Carter's Bariolage are technically assured and full of character. In Every Lover Is a Warrior, the promising young composer Kati Agócs spins folk materials into a powerful, ruminative suite. Add it all up, and calling this a strong contender for the year's most distinguished debut CD doesn't seem like an overstatement...Steve SmithTime Out NY

Under normal circumstances, a solo harp recital would not have been on my bucket list. Until, that is, TCCA's Third-Sunday breathtaking presentation of the world-leading harpist Bridget Kibbey. I had never been to a harp recital. I could not name a classical work for solo harp. I knew of only two harpists. I could not say how a harp produces the notes of the chromatic scale (seven pedals are the secret,) and I had no idea how the harpist creates such a range of sounds just by plucking a string (it's the physics of vibration.)...Charles AtthillThe Union

As a young girl, Bridget Kibbey heard a harpist in her church and, appropriately enough, had a religious experience. Now the young artist, who has racked up countless awards—including the Avery Fisher Career Grant she used to fund her divine solo CD, Love Is Come Again—has become well known for fostering new works, and for catholic tastes that push her angelic instrument into a wider playing field. We caught up with Kibbey as she made her way home from a gig in New Jersey to discuss her upcoming show at the Stone on Tuesday, May 18.
