Laoise Kelly

Laoise Kelly is considered one of the most important harpists playing in Ireland today.
“The harp itself makes it's own contribution to the music Laoise has chosen: the sharp point of attack of each note, the soft rounded tone that follows, and hangs across the next notes, creating a rich halo that is an intrinsic part of the harp's personality. Laoise's rhythmic precision and control of the bass notes, by stopping them as she plays the next note, maintains a clarity that helps the overall definition of the playing. The chordal arrangements are rich and interesting, the rhythmic accents are charming and the accuracy of Laoise's rapid triplets reinforce the precision and ease of the overall rhythm. The playing sounds effortless and allows the listener to relax and enjoy.” Donal Lunny
Laoise Kelly's brilliant harp playing will bring vitality and colour to the music; the harp is well suited to creating delicate, tenuous atmospheres, and will have important support functions.
