Ashley Jackson

**Ashley Jackson** is a dynamic harpist and composer celebrated for breathing fresh life into classical and spiritual traditions. With roots in both academic training and cultural exploration, she’s carved a niche by reimagining works by groundbreaking composers like William Grant Still and Alice Coltrane, blending classical harp technique with the soulful textures of African-American spirituals. Her recordings, such as *Ennanga* and *Deep River*, showcase her knack for bridging eras and genres, while her arrangement of *I’m Troubled in Mind* highlights her deep connection to folk traditions. A Juilliard and Oberlin Conservatory alum, Jackson has graced stages from Carnegie Hall to The Kennedy Center and collaborates with ensembles like The Dream Unfinished, using music to amplify social justice narratives. Whether she’s reviving forgotten gems or crafting new soundscapes, her work feels both timeless and urgently contemporary.
