Elisabeth Remy Johnson, harp meet the musician Elisabeth Remy Johnson Harp Elisabeth Remy Johnson Harp Elisabeth Remy Johnson has been principal harpist of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra (ASO) since 1995; with the ASO, she has performed harp concertos by Debussy, Ginastera, Handel, Higdon and Mozart. Her recent solo album, Quest, received international acclaim, with Gramophone calling it “an exquisite demonstration of the harpist’s art laid out in virtuoso swirls of colour, pearls of elegant nuance and audiophile sound.” She performs as principal harpist with the Grand Teton Music Festival, has been guest principal harpist with the orchestras of Baltimore, Boston, Houston and Milwaukee, and teaches at Emory University. Johnson is a graduate of Harvard University, Phi Beta Kappa, where she majored in Music and French. In 2018, she founded The Merian Ensemble, a group dedicated to performing and commissioning chamber music composed by women. Their debut album, The Book of Spells , was noted for its “exceptional chamber performances” and “compelling musicianship” ( Textura ) and EarRelevant called it “one exciting project, gorgeously prepared, played, and recorded.” As co-founder and artistic director (2000-2010) of Atlanta’s Urban Youth Harp Ensemble, she received Atlanta’s Channel Eleven Community Service Award, the TBS Pathfinder’s Award and the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s “Up & Comers Award.” She was a 2022 awardee of New Music USA’s Creator Development Fund.
