BIG EARS FESTIVAL

Mary Lattimore

Sat   Mar   29   2025 - 12:00 AM

“Mary Lattimore’s music exists somewhere far above us.” – Tape Op

Mary Lattimore is an American classically trained harpist based in Los Angeles, California. Memories, scenes, and split-second impressions have long filled Lattimore’s musical universe. As one of today’s preeminent instrumental storytellers, she has “the uncanny ability to pluck a string in a way that will instantly make someone remember the taste of their fifth birthday cake,” writes Pitchfork’s Jemima Skala. Lattimore’s impulse to record life as it happens matches her drive to travel and perform, as profiled by Grayson Haver Currin for The New York Times: “Lattimore recognized that being in motion shook loose strands of inspiration, moods she wanted to express with melody. She needed, then, to remain on the go.” That sense of fluidity has also made her a prolific collaborator outside of solo work.
