About

Jacqueline Pollauf, harpist, is a performer, teacher and composer. Praised for playing playing with “transcendent ability” (The Sybaritic Singer), she recently premiered a new work for harp and voice at Carnegie Hall. Past performances include the Eleventh World Harp Congress in Vancouver, Canada and the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. An active recitalist, Jacqueline always seeks to explore the versatility of the harp.

Jacqueline’s compositional works are available through Lyon and Healy Publications, Harp Column Music, and Oakway Studios. Recording credits include an album with cellist Dariusz Skoraczewski, and Songs and Dreams for solo harp. Jacqueline has been honored with awards from the Maryland State Arts Council and Chamber Music America. In addition to being the director of the Baltimore Harp Camp, Jacqueline is on faculty at the Baltimore School for the Arts, and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. She holds degrees from the Peabody Conservatory.

Music

Typically I play classical repertoire, frequently including music by J. S. Bach, Claude Debussy, and more modern composers. I can easily make the program more diverse by including a few folk songs, like Scarborough Fair, or old standards, like Over the Rainbow and Georgia on My Mind. I find that many people are surprised at the variety of music and styles that can be played on the harp.
