HOUSTON – She was a former member of the Houston Symphony, and now she’s back in Houston to perform in a concert this weekend.
Megan Conley was only five years old when she started playing the harp. Raised in a musical family and being the daughter of Austin musician Danny Levin, the musical apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
By age 15, she played several albums of Austin musicians, including the Grammy Award-winning album ‘Los Super Seven,’ and continued her musical journey as the Principal Harpist at the Houston Symphony.
While at the Houston Symphony, she created a 6-video musical children’s series during the pandemic called ‘Mornings with Megan.’ She is a member of the Brooklyn-based chamber orchestra The Knights and performed with the New York City Ballet, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, the International Contemporary Ensemble, the Bang On a Can All-Stars, and the Sarasota Opera.
In addition to her musical talents, she merged her two passions of music and conservation and founded Ocean Music Action in 2021. The non-profit presents concerts featuring music, art, and dance to show awareness about the issues causing harm to the oceans.
