Solo

Known for her distinct use of the instrument, Elisa performs in many contemporary contexts from pop to jazz to experimental.  Her music is propelled by two artistic objectives: firstly, how to create music that is both abstract and accessible; and secondly, how harp can take the lead in ensembles in a way that does not compromise sensitivity with its boldness, or generosity with its curiosity. Interested in the intersection between composed and improvised music, she is involved with many projects including HUE, The Giving Shapes, and Gentle Party, and works alongside many artists such as Mauvey, Tonye Aganaba, Loscil and Mother Mother.

Her solo project combines elements of experimental folk and indie music that is informed by her classical technique and career as a contemporary musician.  Finding genre labels sometimes lacking, she jokingly calls it “minstrel-core.” She will be releasing the debut album of this project in summer 2024.
