Lavinia Meijer (harp)About
Since their first encounter in May 2011, Lavinia Meijer has worked with some frequency with Philip Glass, even though he has never written solo works specifically for the harp. However, many of his piano works and piano transcriptions, after minor adjustments, prove to be well suited to the modern pedal harp.
Initially, Lavinia Meijer added Glass's five movement Metamorphosis to her repertoire, on the instigation of the undersigned, the Amsterdam gallery owner Robert Malasch and the American composer himself. After a first and successful performance (in the composer's presence) in the Amsterdam 'pop temple' The Melkweg, a first official recording was made for Channel Classics in June 2011 in the Dutch town of Schiedam.
Lavinia Meijer is recognized worldwide as one of the most successful rising stars. Besides performing the standard harp repertoire, Lavinia is very keen on playing modern music. She is also interested in experiments with electronic music, theatrical performances and jazz. Her CDs have received rave reviews and awards.
