On 16 October 2026, my new album Einaudi on Harp – Oltremare (Beyond the Sea) will be released internationally by Challenge Records.
Oltremare is my first album devoted entirely to the music of Ludovico Einaudi, reimagined for harp. The project grew from my fascination with the way his music transforms through the resonance, colours and overtones of the harp — and from a wider exploration of listening, intimacy and the space between sound and silence.
To celebrate the release, I will be hosting an Album Launch Concert & Celebration the following day, Saturday 17 October, at Adega do Barco in Querença, in the beautiful surroundings of the Fonte da Benémola Nature Reserve.
The evening begins at 17:00, followed at 17:30 by a live concert featuring music from the album and a conversation about Einaudi’s music, the recording process and the artistic journey behind the project.
For those unable to be with us in Portugal, the concert and conversation will be livestreamed internationally on YouTube, so listeners from elsewhere can join the launch in real time.
Afterwards, we will gather on the rooftop overlooking the surrounding landscape for sunset, drinks, music and an informal celebration. The first physical copies of the album will also be available that evening.
