Floraleda Sacchi
Harp
ITALY
Harpist, composer, and producer Floraleda Sacchi is part of a new generation of avant-garde musicians who transcend conventions and styles, as evidenced by her performances and over thirty recordings for labels such as Decca, Deutsche Grammophon, Brilliant Classics, and Amadeus Arte. Alongside a traditional career, Floraleda helps bring classical language into the 21st century, particularly by combining it with technology and new media; perhaps for this reason, she is one of the most streamed harpists in the world. She has performed in major venues and festivals (Carnegie Hall, United Nations Headquarters, Gewandhaus, Konzerthaus Berlin, Binyanei Hauma Jerusalem, Sala Verdi Milan, Gasteig, Glenn Gould Studio Toronto, Auditorium della Conciliazione Rome, Prefectural Hall Kyoto, Salle Varèse Lyon, Concerts de la Croix Rouge Geneva, River Concert Series Washington, Musica no Museo Rio de Janeiro, Festival de Carthage Tunis, Quintai Hall China).
