Kaatsbaan Cultural Park presents Maeve Gilchrist’s 12 Dances on Saturday, January 24, 2026. Tickets start at $15 with a student ID, $30 general admission, and can be purchased here.



In this new multidisciplinary venture by harp innovator and composer Maeve Gilchrist, time is slowed down through the process of careful observation and imagination.



The performance is the culmination of a year-long residency at Kaatsbaan in 2025, during which Maeve wrote a solo-harp composition each month. Into 12 Dances, she interweaves site-specific recordings, poetry, and visual stimulation she gathered each day while at Kaatsbaan.



Known for her ethereal soundscapes, intricate-interweaving voices, and dynamically rhythmic compositions, Maeve leads us carefully through her own reverent cycle of nature, color, and humanity. In a time of political and environmental shifts, this project is a marked noticing of the absolute wonder of our ordinary world, one month at a time in her adopted home of the Mid-Hudson Valley.
