Harpist Faye Seeman is principal harpist with the Chicago Sinfonietta Orchestra, and professor of harp studies at both Wheaton College and Northern Illinois University. As founder of the "Kithara" flute, cello and harp trio, she has led the group to notoriety through highly successful performances in recitals throughout the Midwest. Faye has distinguished herself as one of the most versatile harpists in the area, often venturing away from playing traditional classical repertoire. She and several well-known jazz musicians in the Chicago area collaborated to establish the "ZigZag" jazz harp quartet (piano, harp, bass and drums), exploring an eclectic blend of jazz, classical and new age styles of music. While together they recorded and produced the CD "Caught," which features several of Faye's own compositions, several jazz standards, and free improvisation.
