"...a unique and powerfully bewitching performance." -Folk on Tap, UK

""Her style is reflective and thoughtful and creates a distinct presence among harpists." -Dirty Linen

"...her rhythmic prowess and ability to draw out multiple voices from the single instrument make these pieces sing." -Victory Review

Childhood fascination with the harp blossomed into a career for this Houston native. Therese Honey's entrancing virtuosity and vast knowledge of early music evoke another time and place. She's a superb arranger as well. Ms. Honey won first polace at the Gulf Coast Celtic Harp competitions of 1994 and 1995. Historical notes enhance the recording. Therese Honey's artistry is a magical confluence of devoted scholarship, superb technique, and profound qualities of soul. She welcomes her listeners to a place of rest, reflection and reverence.
