Harp Revolution with Adriano Sangineto and Jacopo Dessi

Event

Adriano Sangineto is an Italian harpist and composer known for reinventing the image of the Celtic harp through rhythm, experimentation, and vibrant stage presence. With a background in classical music and a passion for world and folk traditions, Adriano pushes the limits of the harp, transforming it into a dynamic and modern instrument capable of driving groove, improvisation, and connection.

His solo project, Harp Revolution, blends tradition with innovation, drawing from global influences and reimagining the harp as a tool for sonic exploration. Through his powerful live performances—rich in movement, rhythmic complexity, and interaction—Adriano breaks the boundaries of genre, inviting audiences into a deeply immersive musical journey.

The Visual Harp is a groundbreaking interactive system that transforms the traditional harp into a multi-sensory instrument, combining music with light and digital interactivity. Developed by Adriano Sangineto and the light artist Jacopo Dessi, together with a team of engineers, the Visual Harp uses motion sensors and projection mapping to visually extend the harp's expressive possibilities. Each gesture of the harpist can trigger lights, visuals, or interactive effects, creating a fusion between sound and image that transcends traditional performance.

This unique concert will be accompanied by a workshop on traditional Italian folk rhythms (tickets sold separately).
