American-Canadian Grace Scheele is a contemporary harpist, composer, and improviser based in Toronto, Ontario. Her music hones minimalistic textures within noise landscapes – creating a sound that is “a pliable, fluid, continuum…that’s as beautiful as it is unconventional” (Canadian Music Centre).
Grace interweaves electronics, structured improvisation, and sampling: reimagining the pedal harp as an electroacoustic instrument. An active performer, improviser, and interdisciplinary collaborator, she has performed in venues, festivals, and concert series across Canada and abroad. Highlights include premiering new solo works 12 Layers and manifest for harp and electronics at the Canadian Music Centre’s 2021 Multilocation Festival, making her American debut at Oh My Ears' 2020 New Music Festival, and performing solo improvisations at The Music Gallery and Soundstreams.
