Ashley Jackson

Pianists Jenebah Kanneh-Mason and Leif Ove Andsnes, harpist Ashley Jackson, and ensembles like Takács Quartet and the NDR Radiophilharmonie are among the highlights in our new-releases edition of Sunday Classical for May 2025. Join host Mark Pinto on WRTI on May 4 from 3-6 p.m. to hear selections from these albums.

The rising harpist explores spirituals, musical ancestors and the influence of church on her new album, Take Me to the Water.

It’s a busy week on the Philadelphia classical music scene and there truly is something for everyone — from masters like pianist Richard Goode to contemporary stars like Pierre-Laurent Aimard.

On 'Ennanga,' harpist Ashley Jackson explores music by William Grant Still, Alice Coltrane, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Brandee Younger. It's "a gemlike offering," says Nate Chinen in our Album of the Week review.
