“The Yo-Yo Ma of the harp,” (Vogue Magazine), Bridget Kibbey is known for her great musical instincts that transcend the harp. She interprets the masters—Bach, Debussy, Ravel, Bartok—bringing “a fresh face to the familiar music” (Seattle City Arts Magazine), while being a bold advocate of genre-crossing storytelling and newly-commissioned works. Through it all, her virtuosic and soulful ability to communicate draws in the audience. Kibbey has appeared as soloist with the Badisch Staatskapelle Karlsruhe, State Orchestra of Brazil (Pelotas), The Juilliard Symphony, the Israel Youth Philharmonic, and the orchestras of Orlando, Modesto, Illinois, Alabama, Richmond, Skaneateles Festival, Princeton, and the Madison and San José Chamber Orchestras, Metropolis Ensemble, among others. She has been featured as soloist in North America’s top halls – from Carnegie Hall to the Met Opera Main Stage, to Koerner Hall, the Ordway, the 92nd Street Y, to the Gardner Museum, the Phillips Collection, the Menil Collection and beyond. Internationally, she has appeared at Schloss Elmau, Festival St. Denis, ANAM, Festival des Harpes in Arles, France, Festival de Música de Morelia, Pelotas Festival, and the Lucerne Music Festival. Kibbey has recorded for Deutsche Grammophon, SONY Records, and Pentatone, to great critical acclaim. Her debut album was named one of the Top Ten Releases by Time Out New York; and, her next solo release with Pentatone Records is slated for 2026 – a set of surprising keyboard transcriptions. She is the recipient of a prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant, a Salon de Virtuosi SONY Recording Grant, premiere prix at the Journées de les Harpes Competition in Arles, France, and won a place in the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center’s Bowers Program. Her 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 A&E’s Breakfast with the Arts.
