Kety Fusco
Summary
Kety Fusco is electro-acoustic harpist, composer, and producer who has redefined the harp for the contemporary stage. Armed with her 47-microphone electro-acoustic harp, distortion pedals, and electronics, she transforms the instrument into a visceral voice that screams, whispers, and resonates far beyond classical tradition. Her debut album The Harp was selected by Iggy Pop as “best album” on BBC Radio 6, and in 2025 she will release BOHÈME (A Tree in a Field Records), featuring a collaboration with Iggy Pop. Fusco has toured extensively across Europe and Latin America, performing at prestigious venues such as the Royal Albert Hall, Montreux Jazz Festival, and Mexico’s CENART, and as a Swiss cultural ambassador at the Euro Jazz Festival (Mexico City) and South America tour for Swiss Embassies. In 2025, she has also been invited by the U.S. Department of State to participate in the prestigious International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), recognizing her as an ambassador of Swiss music and cultural innovation. Her work bridges classical training and radical experimentation, from reimagining Beethoven’s “Für Elise” as a furious electronic cry to composing soundtracks for film and RAI Radio3. With over 200 live shows in three years, Kety Fusco is carving an unprecedented path for the harp in electronic music.
