NARTAN
Harp Solo
Play freely, break the mould, adapt modern music styles and in turn alter the perception of harp music. Through my compositions, I would like to demonstrate the true strength of the harp. Its fascinating diversity. Its tenderness, its robustness, its richness of sound and last but not least its exclusivity: unconventional improvised with strong influences from jazz and swing to electro and world music. Live Music and Concerts for exclusive Events at its’ best.
NARTAN & MAX CASTLUNGER
Harp & Percussions
The magic of the harp and the energy of the percussion instruments united in an unparalleled duet. Max Castlunger lives and breathes instrumental music, regarding it as something magic, filled with intense emotions. Inspired by their passion for instrumental music, fascinated by improvisation and driven by their love of playing together, Nartan and Max Castlunger entertain their audience with their own compositions and a surprising crossover where jazz meets swing and electro meets world music.
