Torino, Vigone, Piasco. Within a radius of one-hundred kilometres, between the Mole and the province of Granda, get ready for a voyage into music, culture, and sensations. Our guiding star is once again the harp and its extraordinary universe of sound.

This experience, as always, is always compliments of the Museo dell’Arpa Victor Salvi and is part of the new edition of the “Autumn Harmonies” programme.

The first stop, Torino. At the Circolo dei Lettori (Palazzo Graneri della Roccia, via Bogino 9) the first queen of the series will perform: Isabelle Olivier. A multifaceted artist, Olivier has explored the world of jazz with her harp thanks to her personal attributes of sensitivity, professionalism, and that pinch of artistic verve that is always a plus. The concert will take place on Friday, September 18 (at 9 pm).

Then another feminine touch is set for Saturday, October 10 (at 9 pm). The theatre of Vigone (To) will be the venue for an emerging artist on the international scene: Eleanor Turner. Sharing the stage with Eleanor will be Quintettango, a Torino-based group who has been dedicating their artistic efforts to the music of Astor Piazzolla for years. The evening at the Vigone theatre will be in homage to the Argentine maestro and is expected to be brimming with sensuality. The title of the programme speaks for itself: “Tango mon amour”.

Grand finale, as always, at the Museo dell’Arpa Victor Salvi. On Friday, November 13 (at 9 pm), the third appointment is set to take place in the museum auditorium with Ann Fierens in a concert on the simple movement pedal harp.

“Three extremely appealing concerts to discover the various dimensions of the harp,” comments Roberta Scarzello, Museum Manager of the Museo dell’Arpa Victor Salvi. Once again this year,” Scarzello adds, “the calendar offers irresistible events for harp enthusiasts that are also certain to conquer all those who decide to approach this instrument for the first time.”

Marco Ghibaudo, director of the Museo dell’Arpa Victor Salvi and Managing Director
of Salvi Harps echoes her by saying: “This programme confirms the mutual commitment of the Museum and of Salvi Harps in promoting the harp and highlights the vivacity of this small but dynamic cultural entity in Piemonte”.
