Concert for American Harp Society’s Los Angeles Chapter:
Founded in 2012, the Chicago Harp Quartet has established itself as the leading harp ensemble in the United
States. The Quartet brings its signature mix of original transcriptions of Baroque, Classical and Romantic
repertoire and new works by the world’s leading composers. The Quartet is dedicated to presenting innovative and charismatic programs to stages and audiences of all sorts. Every CHQ performance is a unique experience, bringing together the four members’ extensive and diverse solo careers and their combined dedication to sharing the excitement of the harp quartet literature.
The Chicago Harp Quartet has performed at major concert venues across the US and abroad including
Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Ravinia Festival, Curtis Institute of Music, Lyon and Healy Hall, and the
National Theater in Havana, Cuba. The Quartet has collaborated with artists including Third Coast Percussion, the International Chamber Ensemble, Duo Scorpio, Mozawa, and Ho Etsu Taiko.
The Quartet is devoted to educating its audiences and reaching students of all disciplines. CHQ is sought after for masterclasses and educational residencies (previously at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, New York University, Vanderbilt University and Play On Philly!) and the Midwest Harp Festival.Emily Granger, Eleanor Kirk, Catherine Litaker and Julie Spring, harps
