Sue Richards is a traditional musician and collector of tunes, mostly Celtic and Scandinavian. She has played the harp since childhood, and found it to be the perfect instrument for her passion. To this end, she has won the Scottish Harp Society of America (SHSA) championship four times, studied and taught in Scotland, Ireland and Wales, and recorded with many friends, a natural outgrowth of a good party or session. She is a SHSA Distinguished Judge.

She has played for President and Mrs. Clinton and sat in with the Chieftains. Sue main gig is touring with Ensemble Galilei, a group of five women performing Celtic, early, and original music. As a member of EG she has written music and performed in two multi-media shows, A Universe of Dreams, and First Person: Letters from the Edge of the World, the latter sponsored by the National Geographic Society.
