Playing the "instrument of the angels" since the age of 10, Maggie gained
regional acclaim on the Irish folk harp in music from the Renaissance to
Broadway and film standards. Often asked to appear in concerts and at Celtic
events, she has played the harp for dozens of weddings and receptions. Playing
the concert pedal harp, Maggie has appeared with local orchestras. As with her
father and brother, she is heard often on television and radio. Her first
recording was entitled "Angel of Music." Her 2002 CD release, entitled
"Ascension," received great acclaim.

"Ascension" A Delight to Hear!
Maggie has re-released her CD entitled "Ascension" featuring her playing a Lyon Healy 23 pedal harp built in 1957.
Maggie's artistry and the warm tone of this vintage instrument
combine in delightful performances of Broadway songs, Irish music, some classics
and sacred favorites and several songs by
Nebraskan Rick Kuethe, who now resides in Boston.
