ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Amelia Romano (harp, voice) is a concertizing lever harpist, programming classical re-imaginations alongside original works. She received her master’s in classical lever harp performance at San Francisco State University under the tutelage of Karen Gottlieb, retired second harpist of the San Francisco Symphony. Her latest album, “Levers Engaged: Classical Works Re-imaged for Harp, '' and sheet music collection, “Classical Re-imaginations," present the instrument as a valid voice in classical music. A composer, arranger, and trailblazer in the lever harp world, she is equally at home writing Latin America-inspired works for solo harp as she is adapting classical pieces for chamber collaborations.
Asaf Ophir (woodwinds, voice, guitar) began his professional career in musical theaters in Israel, while studying at the Rimon School of Jazz and Contemporary Music, and later at the Jerusalem Academy. Arriving in the United States in 2014, he began to perform in musicals around the Bay Area, such as the award-winning "Love Sick" in 2017, and "The People in the Picture" in 2018. Finding a home away from home, he can most often be seen in world music projects on Jewish, Arabic, and Balkan stages. Asaf has performed on such distinguished stages as Habima, HaCameri, and Jerusalem Theaters in Israel, as well as the Paramount Theater, the Palace of Fine Arts, the Great American Music Hall, Freight & Salvage, Brava Theater, and others in the San Francisco Bay Area. Throughout his career, he has shared the stage with artists such as Miri Mesika, Avi Kushnir, Galit Giat, Rana Farhan, Ustad Mahwash, and Barbra Streisand.
