Helena Ricci, harp
Helena Ricci is an award-winning Swiss harpist with a radiant personality, praised for her moving playing, numerous transcriptions of famous works, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.
Solo performances include venues such as the Wigmore Hall, St Martin-in-the-fields as well as many high profile events in London. She is an alumna of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama where she studied with Imogen Barford, took part in the Encuentro de Santander, Philharmonie der Animato, Britten-Pears Young Artist Programme, Westfield Presents Artist and the Tuning In! Artist programme in partnership with The University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna. Despite the odds, Helena Ricci made her West End debut during the pandemic and took the opportunity to develop her filming skills, which resulted in her video winning the Deutsche Grammophon competition for Roger & Brian Eno’s “Cerulean Blue” track from their album “Mixing Colours”.
As a Guildhall Creative Entrepreneur she is the founder of MUSILUX, an innovative project merging classical music and digital technology for mesmerising immersive performances.
Embracing the artistic freedom of being able to release music herself, she is currently working on her first classical solo harp CD on the theme of solitude and human connection.
