This week, we’ll be introducing you to performers in the Stylus Symphony. You’ve seen Movements II and III of the symphony so far, and the remaining two movements will be coming soon!
In the meantime, let’s meet some of the people Stephen Webber enlisted to perform on the official recording, and in the official videos, of the Stylus Symphony project. We’ll start with harp player Maeve Gilchrist.
Maeve Gilchrist lent her talents on the harp to the recording of the Stylus Symphony: you can particularly see her featured in movement two: “Na Pali.”
Gilchrist was born in Scotland to an Irish mother and Scottish father. She grew up immersed in folk music, and has taken that tradition and a huge amount of talent to become a lauded innovator on the Celtic Harp. Maeve tours regularly with her own original compositions and to teach and perform at festivals.
Maeve spoke to the Stylus Symphony filmmakers about the project, and you can watch the video below!
Read more about Maeve and other performers on our Behind the Scenes page.
Remember to follow or subscribe to the Stylus Symphony YouTube, Facebook and Twitter pages to see the newest videos. Movements I and IV are coming soon!

Happy Valentine’s Day!
It’s been an exciting few days for the Stylus Symphony. Composer Stephen Webber is in Los Angeles working on a few projects, and recently attended the premiere of Re:Generation Music Project, a documentary that paired DJs with various genres of music to create new and interesting sounds. Stephen Webber helped DJ Premier work with the Berklee Symphony Orchestra to create a cool track, and the pair hit the red carpet together at the film’s premiere late last week.
While we’re talking about the fusion of classical and dance music, let’s get to this week’s video!
This week we are premiering Movement 2 of Stephen Webber’s Stylus Symphony, which is called “Na Pali.” You can view it on YouTube and below.
