Let's Talk Off The Podium with Tigran Arakelyan.
KIRSTEN AGRESTA COPELY is a harpist, composer, and arranger. Known for her unusual command of genres like hip-hop in addition to classical music, her prolific career has taken her throughout the United States, Europe, South America, Israel, Japan, and the South Pacific; she has performed for heads of state, in blockbuster movie soundtracks, alongside Billboard 100 artists, on late night television, and with the most recognized symphony orchestras in the world.

The album, a collection of New Age works, is a collaboration with her husband Marc Copely, credited as producer, engineer, and mixer. Recently, One World Music UK praised her first single as “a rich weave of melodic brilliance...a single you could leave on repeat for hours.”
In this episode we talk about Kirsten's collaborations with artists such as Jay-Z, Kanye West, Beyoncé, and her work in studios with artists from different genres. She also shares stories about competitions, collaborating with her husband, hobbies, and much more.
