Maeve Gilchrist

At age 17, she moved to the United States to study at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she received a full scholarship.

"[2] In 2019, The Irish Times called Gilchrist "the epitome of a new generation of adventurous harpers, pushing the boundaries of her chosen instrument so that it feels both ancient and utterly contemporary.

She has recorded with artists including My Brightest Diamond, been a member of the group The Furies, and played shows in a duo with Sam Amidon.

[5][6] Gilchrist has also performed with percussive dancer Nic Gareiss, and the two of them play together in a foursome called DuoDuo, which also includes cellist Natalie Haas and guitarist Yann Falquet.

[6] Gilchrist played harp in the album Vulture Prince by Arooj Aftab where one of the song won the Best Global Music Performance at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards in 2021.
