You’re invited to stay after the concert for an interview with Kaitlin Miller!
Kaitlin competed in the Young Professional Division of the American Harp Society National Competition and was the top winner. As winner in the Concert Artist program, she tours and provides resources that assist chapters in performances, classes and/or workshops to benefit local harp communities.
Kaitlin finds boundless joy playing the harp and sharing her love of the instrument with her community. Her first introduction to the harp was through an interview on the bonus features from Barbie of Swan Lake which featured a harpist from the soundtrack. Kaitlin’s passion for the harp continued to grow after beginning harp lessons with Dr. Kathy Moore in Greeley, Colorado at the age of ten.
She is currently an active musician in the Los Angeles area performing in orchestral, chamber, and solo settings. She most enjoys performing romantic French music and the innovative compositions of contemporary artists. In her orchestral pursuits, Kaitlin has enjoyed performing with the American Youth Symphony, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and the Pacific Symphony.
Kaitlin’s achievements include winning the 2019 AHS in Dallas Scholarship Competition and the 2020 Anne Adams Awards Competition. Her dedication was further rewarded with fellowships at the Music Academy of the West in both 2022 and 2023. Distinguished as the Young Professional Division winner of the AHS National Competition, Kaitlin now stands as the Concert Artist for 2023-2025. This prestigious role enables her to share her artistry through nationwide masterclasses and harp recitals.
She earned a bachelor’s degree in music theory and harp performance from the University of North Texas with Dr. Jaymee Haefner, and a master’s degree from the University of Southern California with JoAnn Turovsky, where she is continuing to pursue a Doctorate in Musical Arts. Beyond her musical endeavors, Kaitlin cherishes moments outdoors, connecting with nature, and conversing with friends at her favorite local coffee shop.
