Not a Broomstick
Story goes that one day, Emily Hope Price was at her apartment up in Washington Heights when she heard a loud banging coming through the floor above. When she stuck her head out the window, she saw it was harpist Bridget Kibbey, pounding the pedal of her 80 lb. instrument into the floor. So, Price grabbed her cello went upstairs, and they immediately started improvising together. And, thanks to Bethany and Concert Artists Guild, they got to share the results with a full house this past Tuesday at LPR. Prior to their jam - which landed somewhere between jazz and bluegrass - they each played their sets, with Price joined by accordionist Franz Nicolay and Joseph Brent joining Kibbey on mandolin.
