While attempting to live simultaneously in Brooklyn and on a farm in Switzerland, harpist Park Stickney is constantly in motion, giving concerts throughout Europe and the U.S., often solo, or in various combinations including duos with German electro-celtic harpist Rudiger Oppermann and Italian bassist Dino Contenti. An active teacher, he is a visiting professor at the Royal Academy of Music, London, an assistant at the Conservatoire National Superieur de Lyon, and teaches a yearly jazz harp class at the Lausanne Conservatoire, Switzerland. He has given workshops at Juilliard, the conservatories of Paris, Lucerne, Warsaw, Torino, Barcelona, Madrid, Zaragoza, Cardiff, Munich, Trinity College (London), and the Berklee College of Music, among others, as well as at countless harp festivals worldwide. Stickney has three solo CDs: Overdressed Late Guy, Action Harp Play Set, and Still, Life with Jazz Harp, and has recently discovered that skill at the harp doesn’t immediately translate to prowess on the alphorn. His neighbors agree.
