Workshop with Amelia Romano
Adapting Classical Works for Modern Levers
Thursday, September 19th, 2024
3:00 p.m. PACIFIC TIME
on Zoom
Login info is sent out the day before the workshop.
The workshop will cover 3 adapting practices that informed Amelia Romano's sheet music collection, “classical re-imaginations,” intermediate/advanced classical transcriptions for lever harp.
A concertizing lever harpist programming classical re-imaginations alongside original works, Amelia received her master’s in classical lever harp performance at San Francisco State University under the tutelage of Karen Gottlieb - retired second harpist of the San Francisco Symphony.
Her latest album, “Levers Engaged: Classical Works Re-imaged for Harp,'' and sheet music collection, “Classical Re-imaginations," present the instrument as a valid voice in classical music. A composer, arranger, and trailblazer in the lever harp world, she is equally at home writing Latin American inspired works for solo harp as she is adapting classical pieces for chamber collaborations.
Amelia offers virtual workshops and seminars centered around best lever-shifting practices and tools for adapting and performing chromatic works on the instrument.
