About

Katie Buckley began studying harp at the age of 8 in Atlanta, Georgia with Susan Bennett Brady and continued her studies in San Francisco with former San Francisco Symphony and Opera harpist Ann Adams. Katie received her Bachelor of Music degree and Master of Music degree as well as a Performer’s Certificate at Eastman School of Music with Kathleen Bride. In 2006, she became principal harpist with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Katie is a founding member of the ensemble Duo Harpverk. Duo Harpverk is a harp and percussion duo with percussionist Frank Aarnink. The Duo has released two CDs, The Greenhouse Sessions and Offshoots, and performs around Iceland and has embarked on several international tours. In addition to Duo Harpverk and her position in the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Katie also performs as a soloist and chamber musician. Katie is currently working on a album of her own music and, hopefully, someday will release it.
