Bridget Kibbey, harp      Alexi Kenney, violin

According to the New York Times, harpist Bridget Kibbey "…makes it seem as though the instrument had been waiting all its life to explode with the energetic figures and gorgeous colors she was getting from it."

Called the "Yo-Yo Ma of the harp," by Vogue's Senior Editor Corey Seymour, Bridget Kibbey is a winner of a prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant, a Salon de Virtuosi SONY Recording Grant, an artist with the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and winner of Premiere Prix at the Journées de les Harpes Competition in Arles, France. Kibbey has fast gained a reputation for her diverse, energetic programming that spans the baroque, French Masterworks, and rhythmic migration in South America.

Kibbey has toured and recorded with luminaries Placido Domingo, Dawn Upshaw, and Gustavo Santaollalo for SONY Records and Deutsche Grammaphon; and, her own debut album, Love is Come Again, was named one of the Top Ten Releases by Time Out New York.

Bridget Kibbey's solo performances have been broadcast on NPR's Performance Today, New York's WQXR, WNYC's Soundcheck, WETA's Front Row Washington, WRTI's Crossover, and on television in A&E's Breakfast with the Arts. Most recently she was named "Best in Studio 2018" by WQXR for her performance of her own adaptation of J.S. Bach's Toccata and Fugue, live on air.

The recipient of a 2016 Avery Fisher Career Grant, violinist Alexi Kenney has been named "a talent to watch" by the New York Times, which also noted his "architect's eye for structure and space and a tone that ranges from the achingly fragile to full-bodied robustness."

The 2018/19 season sees Alexi returning as soloist with the Indianapolis Symphony, debuting with the Asheville, Omaha, Wheeling, and Bay Atlantic symphonies, the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, and the Gulf Coast Sinfonia, and in recital at Wigmore Hall, Union College, Portland 'Ovations,' and the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern festival, among others. He also appears as guest concertmaster of both the Pittsburgh Symphony and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra.

He is winner of the 2013 Concert Artists Guild Competition and laureate of the 2012 Menuhin Competition. Alexi has been profiled by Strings magazine and the New York Times, written for The Strad, and has been featured on Performance Today, WQXR-NY's Young Artists Showcase, WFMT-Chicago, and NPR's From the Top.
