Irish Harper-composer Aisling Lyons Releases Contemporary Harp Single ‘Sunbeam’

March 7, 2024

Irish harpist, concertina player and multi-award-winning musician and composer, Aisling Lyons is set to release her latest single, ‘Sunbeam,’ a heartfelt and original contemporary harp composition. The single is a poignant tribute to her late friend Sarah and showcases Aisling’s emotive musical storytelling.

Written by Aisling, ‘Sunbeam’ is a musical reflection inspired by the profound emotions experienced after the passing of her dear friend. The composition beautifully captures the essence of memories and the healing power of music during times of loss.

Produced by Ben Wanders in Limerick, ‘Sunbeam’ boasts a rich and evocative sound, showcasing Aisling’s virtuosity on the harp. The collaboration with Wanders brings a unique blend of contemporary elements to the composition, with all sounds created by the harp.

Gráinne Beth Enright, known for her exceptional design work, has contributed a visually striking artwork for ‘Sunbeam,’ further enhancing the overall sensory experience of the single.

Aisling Lyons, with a decorated musical career and multiple awards to her name such as being nominated in last year’s RTÉ Radio 1 Folk Awards, is currently immersed in the creation of her second harp album. ‘Sunbeam’ serves as a glimpse into her evolving musical journey and artistic expression. 2024 sees Aisling travel to Australia, the U.S, Germany and Brittany for various festivals and performances.
