This weekend festival with internationally renowned harpist Bridget Kibbey will offer master classes, workshops and performances. Hailed by Vogue’s senior editor as “the Yo-Yo Ma of the harp,” Bridget Kibbey expands the platform and scope of what the harp communicates on stage. She has gained a reputation for her diverse, energetic programming that spans the baroque, French masterworks and rhythmic migration evolving into the dance forms we love in modern-day Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela.
