Collection: Arianna Savall

Arianna Savall (born in Basel, Switzerland, in 1972) is an internationally renowned soprano, harpist, and composer who is equally at home in classical and traditional music. She comes from a Catalan family of musicians: her parents are the gambist and conductor Jordi Savall and the singer Montserrat Figueras, and her brother is also a musician.

Savall began studying piano and classical harp at an early age and later continued her studies at the Conservatory of Terrassa, where she graduated in voice and harp. Additional studies in historical performance practice took her to the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis and to important teachers such as Rolf Lislevand, Andrew Lawrence-King, and Hopkinson Smith.

Throughout her career, Arianna Savall has worked both as a soloist and as a member of ensembles, including Hespèrion XXI and later as co-founder of the Hirundo Maris project together with Norwegian musician Petter Udland Johansen. Her activities include concert and opera engagements, compositions, and teaching at music academies and international workshops.

Repertoire and artistic focus

Arianna Savall's artistic spectrum is characterized by a broad understanding of historical and traditional music as well as her own compositional approaches. She combines vocal expressiveness with the tonal diversity of the harp (including historical harp instruments) and moves stylistically between medieval, baroque, and traditional repertoires. Her work encompasses music in several languages and reflects both the musical diversity of her roots and her international experience.
