Harpist Bridget Kibbey, a prizewinner at the Premiere Prix at the Journées de les Harpes Competition in Arles, France, and recipient of an Avery Fisher Career Grant, will replace the Diderot String Quartet in a Jan. 12 program in Richmond’s Belvedere Series.
The concert will begin at 7 p.m. at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, Grove Avenue at Three Chopt Road.
The Diderot withdrew because of a Covid infection.
Kibbey, whose repertory ranges from classical to jazz to world music, has performed with such prominent collaborators as the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the Dover and Callidore quartets, mandolinist Avi Avital and soprano Dawn Upshaw. Vogue magazine dubbed Kibbey “the Yo-Yo Ma of the harp.”
Her Richmond program includes music by J.S. Bach, Britten, Debussy, Albéniz, Fauré, Paquito d’Rivera, José Barros and some her arrangements.
