Playing again for dancers/shibari performers Mar and at Shien Lee’s Red Pavilion in Brooklyn. I’ll be accompanied by percussionist Natalie North. Wear something with cut outs cause you’re gonna get flushed.

Witness the deliberate movements of rope artists Mar Like The Sea and Sam Sweet, each stroke echoing the crescendos and swells of chamber folk trio THISTLE, creating a dialogue between body and sound. The live music—original compositions of harpist and singer Thistle Jemison—serves as both a backdrop and a collaborator, amplifying the emotional intensity of the performance.

The lyrics are inspired by fairytales, poetry, and literature, while the music draws influence from the folk, jazz, western classical, and South Indian classical genres. Chamber Music America called Thistle's latest, Edgar Allan Poe-inspired album "Beautiful, hypnotic, unique."

Shibari & Strings is both visually and aurally immersive, offering the audience a space to reflect on the beauty of vulnerability, connection, and control. It’s an evening where music and movement intertwine, drawing the audience into a shared space of tension and release.

This is gonna be a fun one! The trio has been asked to play a solar eclipse party at fabulous renovated cathedral turned arts organization Epsilon Spires! We couldn't be more thrilled. There will be an eclipse viewing outdoors with complimentary eclipse viewing glasses, and then we will adjourn to the sanctuary where THISTLE will be playing original celestial inspired chamber music. The eclipse peaks around 3:30pm. The concert will begin around 5pm. Refreshments will be served. Please visit the web-site for tickets and more information.

I'll be playing solo for First Night Northampton--come ring in the new year with me and many other talented musicians who will be playing in various venues around this historic New England town. My venue is the Christian Science Church, which apparently has wonderful acoustics. I'll be playing from 8-8:45. The night is topped off with fireworks. Purchase your button online and pick it up in Thornes Marketplace between 10am-9pm on New Year's Eve day. Kids and day only passes are available.

The Rites of Spring Music Festival will be hosting a concert of nature inspired music at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge in their concert chamber with windows overlooking the refuge. THISTLE is thrilled to be playing as a trio with Julliard alums Reenat Pinchas on cello and Roxan Jurkevich on percussion.

THISTLE plays as a trio in a historic brownstone in Bushwick. Live streamed!! It's free, sponsored by Chamber Music America, with the generous support of the Howard Gilman Foundation. We play the entirety of "Mysterious Star: A Tribute to Poe" in celebration of all things spooky and Poe, for Halloween!!

Playing once again on Bannerman Castle Island at their summer concert series, sponsored by Adams Fair Acre Farms. It's very magical to play music atop this island. Because it will be cold, we will likely play in the castle. Full trio is coming out for this one!

THISTLE will be playing as a trio in a gorgeous listening room that was built just for chamber concerts in Maple Grove Cemetery. Audience members will look out onto grave sites through the wall of windows behind us, while we perform original songs inspired by Edgar Allan Poe. This concert is one of six in a series to promote the release of THISTLE's new record "Mysterious Star: A Tribute to Poe," and is sponsored by a 2023 Chamber Music America Artist's Project grant. Come to this gorgeous cemetery which is on the National Historic Registry and celebrate the Halloween season with us :)

Come to the Edgar Allan Poe Cottage in the Bronx to celebrate THISTLE's release of the single and video "Spirits of the Dead" from the upcoming album "Mysterious Star: A Tribute to Poe." Presented through Chamber Music America's Artists Project program, funded through the generosity of the Howard Gilman Foundation. The concert is held outdoors in front of the home that Edgar Allan Poe occupied during his later years, until his death in October of 1849. Bring blankets to sit on the grass, as only 20 chairs are available. 100 attendants maximum.

Rescheduled from October of 2020, THISTLE will be playing their Edgar Allan Poe material as a trio at the famed Omega Center to help usher in their Fall season. You must be a guest at Omega to attend this concert.

I will finally be playing the festival that I was scheduled to play in 2020! Can't wait to share my H.C. Andersen inspired record "The Ice Maiden Comes" with fellow Andersen lovers! I am lucky to have two very talented students from the local Syddansk Musikkonservatorium joining THISTLE this evening: Filippa Westerberg on cello and Linda Sjökvist on classical percussion. Tickets are free, sponsored by the festival, however it is recommended that you reserve your space :)

Another evening with the vampires of LA! Endless Night Productions has invited us back to feast on our music. Joining me is cellist Alyssa L. Jackson. https://www.facebook.com/madamesiamla/

Playing the Poe material for one of Father Sebastian's Endless Night parties, celebrating Mabon, aka May Day. Duo with Alyssa L. Jackson

I'll be back on the island labor day weekend for lovely evening of dinner and music as part of the Bannerman Castle Island Trust fundraising for their arts programming. I am thrilled to take my harp back on the boat and up the mountain!

Playing a private party under the fabulous Astarte Creative events agency

Just a boat ride from Beacon NY and then a 72 stair climb, you can check out the ruins of Bannerman "castle," which is really the crumbling warehouse for a WWI arms dealer. I will be playing in front of the Bannerman's former summer home on top of the mountain, which also looks like a little castle. Come hang! It's a lovely little island owned by the NY State Parks Dept.

I'll be playing some of my own tunes without words, as well as medieval, Irish and British songs on harp. Free and open to the public. Laura Jemison's artwork will be featured among the group of artists whose work will be shown. Standard art opening fare of wine, cheese and crackers will be served if covid allows.

Outdoor concert. Music at 7, doors at 6:30pm. Playing as a trio tonight with percussionist Al Cerulo and cellist Nick Jozwiack. Tickets available through Martha's Vineyard Chamber Society $15 online, $20 at the door.
