Kirsten Agresta Copely

This podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts, or as a video on my YouTube. This week’s episode is with the award-winning harpist and composer Kirsten Agresta Copely.  Kirsten has had a really diverse career, starting with rigorous classical training as a young child,  an illustrious career as an internationally touring solo harpist, and then a contrasting career performing with pop and rap  icons such as Beyonce, JayZ, Lady Gaga, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys and so many more famous artists, lots of studio work,  and as a composer and arranger. In this wide-ranging conversation we talked about dealing with grief,  ways of dealing with stress and anxiety, and many insights from Kirsten’s unique path through the music industry, including as an educator and mentor.Very shortly after we recorded this episode, Aquamarine was nominated for a GRAMMY award for Best New Age, Ambient or Chant Album. Kirsten has shared several tracks from Aquamarine and some of her other projects that are excerpted in this podcast,  and if this music draws you in, please click on the link to her website below, which will take you to all the places to buy and stream her music.
