Olona Harp Duet
Harp Duo
A meeting of sounds, colours and nuances: the Olona Harp Duet is formed by Francesca Miglierina and Francesca Cavallo. This Duo is a refined and impressive formation, capable of transforming each performance into a unique sound experience.
The repertoire ranges from original compositions written for this ensemble to transcriptions of famous opera arias and symphonic masterpieces, adapted to enhance the richness of timbre of the two harps.
The balance between tradition and innovation makes the duo an ideal choice for concerts, festivals and special events.

This programme aims to offer the audience an overview of the vast repertoire composed for this ensemble. Scenically impressive, two harps close to each other visually recall the image of two wings.
