About Lavinia Meijer

Harpist Lavinia Meijer has toured all over the globe with many leading orchestras. She released several albums on the Channel Classics label, including her interpretations of work by Handel, Bach, and Scarlatti on the 2004 release 1685. In 2009 she received the Dutch Music Prize. She released the album Metamorphosis/The Hours in 2012, which featured works by Philip Glass, whose music is adapted well to her instrument. Since signing with Sony Classical and releasing an album of music by European crossover composer Ludovico Einaudi in 2014, Meijer has emerged as one of the world's best-known harpists, typically mixing classical standards with contemporary music in a more vernacular vein. Meijer has experimented with the traditional concert setting, sometimes performing solo concerts in candle-lit rooms. ~ TiVo Staff
