Áine Minogue

Áine Minogue… a balm for our times… Boston Globe Irish harpist and composer Áine Minogue brings a lifetime of devotion to the contemplative arts of Ireland. Born and raised in County Tipperary, she began harp studies at a convent boarding school in County Galway, Ireland, and later earning a Master’s degree in music performance at the University of Limerick. Her career spans 16 albums and over 120 million streams, yet remains grounded in the traditions of her Irish and Celtic heritage. 

Drawing on the ancient Irish triad of harp music — geantraí (joy), goltraí (sorrow), and suantraí (lullaby), Áine’s work specializes in music for sleep, rest and grief. From Hymns of Brigid to vocal keening, her pieces offer refuge for the soul.

 Áine’s catalog includes works such as Celtic Meditation Music, Celtic Lamentations, Celtic Pilgrimage and In the Name of Stillness. On Insight Timer, her offerings include harp instrumentals for sleep and healing, and in time, spoken word meditations exploring the Celtic imagination, the divine feminine, and the enduring wisdom of Ireland’s early monastic tradition.

 Her music is not only heard, it is felt, as a quiet remembering of things once known. “This Irish harpist combines a hypnotic Celtic spirituality and contemporary sophistication in her playing and delicately lovely singing”— Boston Globe “Áine Minogue proves beyond reasonable doubt why the harp is indeed the instrument of Angels” - Randy Lewis, LA Times
