Xavier de Maistre

Sun, Nov 10, 2024 at 2:30 PM
Bing Concert Hall

Xavier de Maistre is one of today’s leading harpists and a profoundly creative musician. As a fierce champion of his instrument, he has broadened the harp repertoire, commissioning new work from different modern composers. Alongside his remarkable solo career, de Maistre has performed with the world’s leading orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, where he  became the first French musician to join the ranks of the institution and served as principal harpist for several years.

Explore the harp music in our 2024-25 season by listening to our Spotify playlist.
