Ruth O'Hara, harpist

Ruth’s programme moves between classical repertoire, traditional Irish music, and well-known contemporary works, offering a wide range of styles and sounds. The concert also features performances from the Newpark Harp Ensemble, including arrangements by Ruth herself.

The programme includes works by Erik Satie, Hasselmans and Salzedo, alongside Irish traditional music and recognisable pieces such as music from Frozen, The Devil Wears Prada, and Taylor Swift.

Ruth is an award-winning harpist and member of the teaching staff at Newpark Academy of Music. She studied at the Royal Irish Academy of Music and has performed with the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, as well as at venues including the National Concert Hall, Dublin Castle and the Convention Centre. Alongside her performance work, she is an active teacher and collaborator, and is involved in outreach work through Newpark and the Musical Memories Choir.

This concert offers a chance to hear the harp in a variety of settings, from solo classical works to ensemble playing, in an intimate setting at the Carnegie Library.
