Welcome to my music!

I Heard a Bird Sing - DVD
“I Heard a Bird Sing” is a DVD containing a music video for my original song by the same title, the music video with my commentary and a 30-minute “Conversation with Amy Kortuem.” The music video weaves gorgeous outdoor and performance footage into the story line of the song to give viewers insight into how inspiration can be gathered and put into form in meaningful ways. The “Conversation with Amy Kortuem” gives personal insights into my creative process, musical history and what it’s like to be a harpist, performer, composer and seeker of inspiration.

The Month of January - CD
My original music and my traditional Irish favorites make up this album, which I recorded during what is usually my hibernation time: the month of January. Much of the album is solo Celtic harp, and is beautiful in its simplicity — I wanted it to sound as if you’d come over for an afternoon and I played you my favorite songs. I am joined on two pieces by my Celtic band: Martha Lindberg on recorders, Sam Lawrence on bodhran and Marti Ryan on violin. (All arrangements by Amy Kortuem)
