About Me

Solo CD The Road to Kennacraig (2019) available from Bandcamp (digital and CD) and www.karenmarshalsay.com (CDs).


Karen Marshalsay is a master of traditional Scottish harp music. Specialising on all three Scottish harps -- the wire- and gut-strung models and the baroque bray harp with its buzzing sitar effect -- Karen has appeared throughout the UK, Europe, America and Australia. Career highlights include the Edinburgh International Festival, Celtic Connections, and the Australian National Folk Festival. She has also worked in African and Paraguayan music and on multi-cultural projects including Yatra, which premiered at the Edinburgh Mela in 2008. Scottish projects include exploring pibroch with renowned piper Allan MacDonald. As a composer, Karen has produced new works for Celtic Connections' New Voices series and the Distil showcase concerts for the Scottish Traditional Music Trust and has published her own series of harp music books.
