WORKSHOP COMPOSING ON THE HARP
PLEASE BRING YOUR HARP (LEVER OR PEDAL) TO PARTICIPATE
THERE IS LIMITED TICKETS FOR THIS EVENT SO BOOK EARLY
ESTHER SWIFT explores ritual, connection, isolation, and the natural world in her performance with pedal harp and voice.
A prolific, boldly innovative harpist, composer and singer, Esther works across genres as diverse as classical chamber music and free improvisation, and writes for ensembles large and small.
She studied at Edinburgh’s St Mary’s Music School and the Royal Northern College of Music, as well as with harp pioneer Catriona McKay. She has received numerous prestigious commissions and featured in many international collaborations.
Likened to Kate Bush, Anna Meredith and Björk, her style is influenced by her love of jazz, minimalism and dance music alongside her scottish folk background.
She has travelled to Vietnam, New Zealand, Malaysia, Mongolia, and beyond with her music, and shared international, music lead collaborations with musicians and other artists around the world.
She has recently been commissioned by Celtic Connections, Chamber Music Scotland, Manchester Jazz festival and The Edwin Morgan Trust and performed internationally with her band Emergence Ensemble.
Esther's debut solo studio album Expectations of a Lifetime was released in June 2024.
“Björk-esque” ★★★★★ - Edinburgh Reporter
"Esther Swift is a monster musician. Be Very afraid” - Chris Wood
