Esther Swift

Esther Swift explores ritual, connection, isolation, and the natural world in her performance with pedal harp and voice.

A prolific, boldly innovative harpist, composer and singer, Esther works across genres as diverse as classical chamber music and free improvisation, and writes for ensembles large and small. Having studied at Edinburgh’s St Mary’s Music School and the Royal Northern College of Music, as well as with harp pioneer Catriona McKay, she has received numerous prestigious commissions and featured in many international collaborations.

She has recently been commissioned by Celtic Connections, Chamber Music Scotland, Manchester Jazz Festival and The Edwin Morgan Trust, and has performed internationally with her band Emergence Ensemble.

Esther's debut solo studio album, Expectations of a Lifetime, was released in June 2024.
