Brien Engel is part of an exciting new community helping to revive and promote the enchanting art of glass music. His glass harp is comprised of goblets and snifters of various sizes, which he plays by carefully rubbing their rims with moistened fingers. He taught himself to play his first set in 1993, built on a summer trip to Olympia, Wa. His current instrument features 50 glasses, and is one of the largest in the world.
Brien enjoys improvisational music and has also developed a large repertoire of arrangements for his glass harp, including favorites from classical, Jazz, Celtic, and other genres.
