EN – Professional harpist and harp teacher Esther Sévérac studied classical harp and pedagogy at the Music Academy Basel. Today she is mainly active in the field of improvised music and frequently works with composers. The focus of her artistic work as a modern harpist is to overcome the angelic cliché of her instrument by pushing stylistic boundaries and experimenting with analog and digital effects. She teaches private harp lessons in her own harp studio and harp didactics at the Music Academy Basel.

Sometimes I find videos in my phone and decide to post them. 😬what is this ? Hint: it’s an improvisation over something… but there are little glimpses of the original melody here and there.
