Internationally renowned Alina Bzhezhinska, one of the leading harpists in the world today, has built a strong reputation for innovation. Having first appeared at King’s Place in 2019, performing a sold-out tribute to Alice Coltrane and Dorothy Ashby, Bzhezhinska returns with new compositions, celebrating the release of her new album “Inspirations”.
Creating a unique sound on the harp, with layered effects and electronics, Bzhezhinska will be supported by music supremo’s Mikele Montolli (bass); Adam Teixeira (drums) and welcoming her special guest - British star Tony Kofi (saxophone). Drawing from a variety of influences, including Dorothy Ashby’s ‘Afro-Harping’, Alice Coltrane’s spiritual outputs, Joe Henderson’s free form jazz experimentation; 90s Acid Jazz and Trip Hop, Bzhezhinska (composer, band leader and founder of the HipHarpCollective) is a one- woman powerhouse on a mission to bring the harp to the fore of contemporary sonics.
With her new album, recorded in London last year with her HipHarpCollective, expect to hear the harp as you’ve never heard it before.
