Kasia Lewandowska

The polish concert harp-player, composer, and performance artist had started her harp education at the age of 10. She then studied harp and piano at the Warsaw Music Academy and finished her education with a scholarship at the Frankfurt University of Music and Performing Arts.

She has been involved in multiple orchestras, cameral ensembles, jazz formations and performing groups, however, she particularly enjoys mixing different forms of artistic expression. At the end of 20’s she creates her first experimental compositions for a concert harp, an electric harp, and also different custom-modified harps, oftentimes in a dialog with light, color, text, and dance.

The term „visual music” means: mutual inspiration and enrichment of different arts, and, as a result, widening of the experience horizon of the observer. The encounter with the color forms tone spaces, acoustic and pictorial tone paintings. As if they had neither the beginning nor the end …

„Sound is for me often like red raspberries, sometimes is deep blue, and sometimes smells like oranges.”
