Counterpoint In Motion
Harpist Bridget Kibbey weaves her own transcriptions of J.S. Bach’s iconic keyboard works within masterworks by Debussy, Fauré, Gershwin and beyond. Illuminating how the baroque era forever changed the trajectory of music, Kibbey showcases virtuosic bass-lines to soaring melodies within the powerful resonance of the concert harp! Sharing stories from stage, audiences explore alongside Bridget, how the music evolved over time – from the baroque courts of Europe to the salons of 20th Century France, to Brazilian baião, to Venezuelan joropo, to Argentine milonga … landing right in the heart of New York City.
Stay tuned for Kibbey’s newest solo record release with Pentatone Records, September, 2025.
