The Spanish Harp: Beyond Classical
The Instituto Cervantes Dublin invites audiences to a bold and unexpected musical journey with Spanish harpist, singer and composer Pilar Paradela. Classically trained but creatively untamed, Paradela breaks the mould of the harp as a purely classical instrument. Her performance blends original compositions with surprising reworkings of iconic Spanish songs, moving effortlessly through flamenco, rumba, jazz and beyond. With each string and each note, Paradela reveals the harp’s full expressive potential—raw, rhythmic, emotional and free. This is not just a concert; it’s a reimagining of what the harp can be, and an invitation to feel music without borders.
