Biography
ANNA O’CONNELL is a soprano and harpist specializing in self-accompaniment with folk, medieval, renaissance, and baroque harps. A visit to Ireland at a young age cemented her love of Celtic music and led to her lifelong fascination with the harp. Her research interests include medieval chant and seventeenth-century Italian women composers. She earned her master’s degree in Choral Music from the University of Southern California and her doctorate in Historical Performance Practice from Case Western Reserve University.
