From the bottom of her harp: contemporary women artists finding their song 

Mary Lattimore’s eyes shine as she tells ArtsHub that for her, music has been ‘a mix of structure and freedom’. The LA-based, critically acclaimed contemporary harpist recently performed at the Melbourne Recital Centre, in collaboration with multi-instrumentalist, Benjamin Skipper, and violinist, vocalist and composer, Eric Avery. The program described the billing as ‘classical virtuosity collides with avant-garde innovation’, a fitting description of Lattimore’s unconventional career trajectory, as a classically trained harpist with a twist. Earlier this year she was at the Sydney Opera House, working with guitarist Paul Sukeena.
