|
| From Portland Oregon, Elizabeth Nicholson performs traditional and original Celtic music, early music, world music, American folk music, and even rock.
A life-long musician, Elizabeth studied classical piano as a child and switched to harp in her early teens. She studied primarily with Lyn Kirkwood (of the Irish harp duo Iris), Liz Cifani (principal harpist for the Chicago Lyric Opera), and Jenny Lindner (principal harpist for the Portland Lyric Opera), dividing her focus between the modal repertoire of the Celtic harp and the classical repertoire of the pedal harp. A trip to Ireland in 1992 plunged Elizabeth headlong into an obsession with traditional Irish music, prompting her to take up voice and guitar, and expand her studies of the Irish harp.

"The recording deals with themes that are by and large tragic; unrequited loved, separation, death, madness and revenge. These are the types of song that I love the most. For one thing, many of them are very old,... More>>> |
