Chicago Harp Quartet

April 27, 2026, 8:00 pm

Harp Column Magazine praised the Chicago Harp Quartet as “The quartet that put harp quartets on the map.” Founded in 2012, the ensemble delivers a signature mix of original transcriptions of Baroque, Classical and Romantic repertoire, as well as new works by the world’s leading composers. Live From WFMT welcomes the CHQ’s four members, Emily Granger, Eleanor Kirk, Catherine Yom Litaker, and Julie Spring, for this beautiful, live recital.

Kerry hosts many WFMT Radio Network broadcasts from such locations as the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival and the Salzburg Festival. A native Chicagoan, Kerry grew up with WFMT.
