Called “the Yo-Yo Ma of the harp world,” riveting harpist Bridget Kibbey makes her Mistral debut with artistic director and flutist Julie Scolnik in a diverse program that ranges from harp solos from her new CD by jazz legend Paquito D’Rivera who morphs the instrument into a bandoneon to evoke Argentinian tango, to Boston composer Kati Ágocs, a modern-day Benjamin Britten, who treats her own native Canadian folk music as found objects for a new work for solo harp, to David Bruce’s enchanting music-box-like Caja de Musica. Scolnik and Kibbey will offer a set of duo gems by French composers Ravel, Debussy, Saint Saens, and Chaminade.  “Kibbey made it seem as though her instrument had been waiting all its life to explode with the gorgeous colors and energetic figures she was getting from it.”     The New York Times
