French Harpiste Mélanie Genin at the Prism Chamber Music Festival [fr]
The French harpist Mélanie Genin, known for her “desire to re-shape and re-invent classical music”, will be at the Prism Chamber Music Festival from 18-19 October 2018 at Hotel Stage.
Hailed as “a globe-trotter” and “singular harp virtuoso” by L’Union France and the Epoch times of New York, Mélanie Genin is known for her “desire to re-shape and re-invent classical music” (Justine Philippe, L’Union, France).
Since her solo debut at Carnegie Hall with the International Shining Stars, Ms. Genin has performed in some of the most prestigious halls in the world, including Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Royal Albert Hall London, KKL Luzern, Audi Hall München, Avery Fisher Hall, Salle Pleyel, Théâtre du Châtelet, and Théâtre des Champs Elysées, under conductors such as Pierre Boulez, Sir Mark Elder, Alan Gilbert, Pablos Heras-Casado, and Leonard Slatkin. Her talent extends to working with and commissioning pieces from young composers, most notably for “Toward the Sea”, an immersive, multimedia show co-created with Australian flutist Catherine Gregory, which debuted at New York’s Lincoln Center in 2016.
