Romy Wymer
Romy Wymer is a Glasgow-based harp player and composer, originally from the Netherlands. Her compositions, which draw from traditional folk music, jazz and minimalism, are autobiographical in nature and seek to capture the joy of mundanity in life.
Romy studied traditional music with Heather Downie at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, where she graduated with first class honours. Since then, she was awarded second place and the audience award in the World Harp Competition 2021 for her programme Lore, and she was a semifinalist in the BBC Young Traditional Musician of the Year 2021. She has appeared on a range of projects and albums, including jazz collective Azamiah and clàrsach trio the Willow Trio.
... echoes of Steve Reich's "Counterpoint" performed by Pat Metheny ... a beautiful piece of minimalism.
