Alina Bzhezhinska HipHarp Collective

Internationally-renowned Alina Bzhezhinska, one of the leading harpists in the world today, has built a strong reputation for innovation. Having first appeared at Ronnie Scott’s in 2018, supporting a sold-out tribute to Alice and John Coltrane by Denys Baptiste Quartet, Bzhezhinska continues her work around the globe with her band HipHarpCollective. She recorded three critically acclaimed albums - Inspirations (2017), Reflections (2022) and Altera Vita (2024).

Creating a unique sound on the harp, with layered effects and electronics, Bzhezhinska will be supported by Menelik Claffey (bass), Matt Holmes (drums), as well as a special guest appearance by British star saxophonist Denys Baptiste.

Drawing from a variety of influences, including Dorothy Ashby’s Afro-Harping, Alice Coltrane’s spiritual outputs, Joe Henderson’s free form jazz experimentation and 90s Acid Jazz and Trip Hop, Bzhezhinska (composer, bandleader and founder of the HipHarpCollective) is a one-woman powerhouse on a mission to bring the harp to the fore of contemporary music.
