Série jeunes: Tjasha Gafner

"The beauty of art lies in the fact that it provides inspiration. And it's always something different," explained Tjasha Gafner in an interview with BR-Klassik. With her calm, attentive and alert manner, the Swiss harpist wowed juries and audiences alike. The first prize and the audience prize at the ARD competition in Munich (2023) were further recognition in an already long line of awards.
she discovered the harp as a seven-year-old during a visit to the orchestra pit at the KKL. Today, she draws her access to music from very different areas. Painting continues to inspire her with new ideas, literature has great significance for her with works by Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, for example, and she is deepening her interest in education and psychology with a Master's degree in education, while also preparing for a doctorate in harp. She can therefore look back on a successful start to her career and her wide range of interests promises a varied programme when she performs in the Kleine Tonhalle accompanied by pianist Aurore Grosclaude.
