Step inside the creative world of harpist and composer Emily Hopkins, PK House’s first-ever musician-in-residence. In this episode of Inner Rhythm, Emily and collaborator Russ share how they transformed the harp from a classical orchestral staple into an instrument of sonic experimentation — blending pedal effects, improvisation, and storytelling.

Inspired by Stones, the collaborative lithograph series by poet Frank O’Hara and artist Larry Rivers, Emily’s new album STONE reimagines each work through music. From discovering O’Hara’s connection to Lee Krasner to exploring the contrasts between different artistic partnerships, this conversation dives deep into collaboration, process, and pushing artistic boundaries.

Whether you’re an art lover, a music enthusiast, or simply curious about breaking creative stereotypes, this is a story of invention, connection, and finding your own voice.
