On the occasion of the Open Day 2025 at the Italian Institute of Culture on Thursday, 20th March 2025, we are delighted to welcome harpist Kety Fusco for a sensational music perfomance.
The harp as you’ve never imagined it before.
Kety Fusco transforms the harp into an entirely new voice, redefining what this instrument can represent in the contemporary music landscape. This is not just music: it’s a vision. It’s an invitation to explore a sound world that has never existed before.
She will release her new album BOHÈME in June 2025. Every sound in BOHÈME originates from the harp, yet nothing is as it seems. Sound manipulations, underwater recordings, and unconventional techniques create a unique musical language, far from traditional boundaries. BOHÈME is more than an album: it is an artistic manifesto. It celebrates the beauty born from the courage to face the unknown.
After 15 years of classical studies, over 200 international concerts including at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London, collaborations with icons like Iggy Pop, a recent performance at Sanremo 2025, Kety Fusco establishes herself as one of the most innovative artists in the contemporary scene. In her work, she doesn’t follow predefined rules but instead redefines what it means to make music with the harp.
Kety Fusco, a classically trained harpist with two master’s degrees in classical harp and extensive experience performing with orchestras and chamber ensembles, has transformed her strong academic foundation into a springboard for personal and artistic exploration that has led her to a radical path of sound innovation. Feeling the need to push beyond the boundaries of tradition, she began experimenting with the electric harp, creating an instrumental revolution that redefined the role of the harp in contemporary music.
Her career has been marked by significant performances on prestigious international stages. Among the highlights is her invitation to perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London, where she achieved a sold-out show, demonstrating global recognition of her artistry. She also had the honor of performing at the Montreux Jazz Festival, sharing the stage with music legends such as Jeff Mills, as well as at the Paleo Festival, further confirming her ability to captivate and surprise a global audience. Kety also performed at the renowned Notte della Taranta, one of the most important traditional music festivals in Europe, under the artistic direction of Dardust and alongside Stromae, an experience that further cemented her status as an internationally significant artist.
