Resume
Italian harpist Luna Musilli, passionate about her instrument since the age of 7, is a high-level artist with a remarkable career. A graduate of the Milan Conservatory in 2017 and holder of two masters from the Haute École de Musique de Lausanne, she has won numerous prizes in international competitions.
A passionate teacher, she is also involved in chamber music and the enrichment of the harp repertoire through arrangements and original creations. She has taken advanced courses with renowned teachers such as Gabriella Dall'Olio, Park Stickney, Luisa Prandina, Maria Rosa Calvo-Manzano, Gloria Martinez, Olga Shevelevich, Letizia Belmondo, Eleanor Turner, Fabrice Pierre and Renaud Capuçon for chamber music.
These studies, as well as the constant and passionate practice of his instrument, allowed him, from the age of 10, to participate in international competitions and win several prizes, such as second prize at the IX Concorso Internazionale di Esecuzione Musicale Città di Asti, first prize in the solo and chamber music category at the Saluzzo Music Pizzico Competition F. Gatti, first prize at the European Music Competition Città di Moncalieri as well as second prize at the Concorso Internazionale di Esecuzione Musicale-Città di Treviso 2020.
In 2022, she won first prize at the Lavaux Classique festival with tenor Leonardo Sanchez for the project Los Ritmos del Amor. This success allowed her to present this program at the 2023 festival, accompanied by a personal creation: an interactive musical tale for children, exploring the sounds of the harp and the world of Harry Potter.
Particularly involved in cultural mediation, she collaborates with the Partemus association and participated in a concert for families during the prestigious Aix-en-Provence Easter Festival.
As an orchestral musician, Luna Musilli has played with renowned ensembles such as the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, the Valéik Philharmonic, the Ensemble de Joux, the Sinfo Romandie Chamber Orchestra, and the Teatro Coccia of Novara.
Her passion for chamber music drives her to constantly explore new sounds, as evidenced by her varied projects: her collaboration with singer Floriane Derthe, broadcast on Espace 2 in 2021; her arrangement of Chopin’s Variations on a Theme from La Cenerentola for harp and oboe, recorded with Edoardo Pezzini; as well as her contributions to the CD Los Colores de Latinoamérica with tenor Leonardo Sanchez in 2022, for which she wrote several arrangements.
Since October 2023, she has been actively collaborating with the association Opera for Peace, dedicated to the promotion of young lyrical talents from around the world. It is thanks to Opera for Peace that she has the opportunity to fully invest herself in the enrichment and creation of arrangements for her instrument.
