About

KIRSTEN AGRESTA COPELY is a GRAMMY® Nominated, international award-winning harpist and composer. Her prolific career has taken her throughout the United States, Europe, South America, Israel, Japan, and the South Pacific; she has performed for heads of state, in blockbuster movie soundtracks, alongside Billboard 100 artists, on late night television, and on some of the world’s most recognized stages.

Steeped in rigorous classical training, Copely’s performance career began at an early age: by fourteen, she performed a full solo tour of the British Isles, and continued to gain attention in the classical world by winning Bronze Medal in the 1st USA International Harp Competition. She debuted as concerto soloist at Carnegie Hall Stern Auditorium, and also presented three separate solo recitals at Weill Concert Hall. Ms. Copely served as the Associate Professor of Harp at Vanderbilt University Blair School of Music from 2017-2021.

Music

I play many different genres of music from classical to contemporary. My programming usually includes some of my favorite Bach, John Bull, Granados, Grandjany, and Hovhannes pieces, mixed with my own original GRAMMY® Nominated New Age music. I'm known for my pop covers and usually end my sets with a well known Top 40 song. While this is a sampling of a concert program, it is not limited to these composers or curation. Let's chat!
