Harpe duo Alchimia
 

Both graduates from the “A. Boito "of Parma,  Alice Caradente  and  Alessandra Ziveri  they founded in 2008 the harp duo “Alchimia” with the aim of offering the public a wide repertoire, sometimes unpublished, sometimes forgotten. 

After following Masters and Courses with internationally renowned teachers, they deepened this type of chamber repertoire by researching and performing original compositions and transcriptions, dealt with with profound stylistic expertise.  They recorded two discs of unreleased and original songs for two harps:  Paraphrase Verdiane (Tactus, 2014), a project entirely dedicated to the authors of the 19th century Italian harp school who composed fantasies, divertimenti, potpourri on the most loved arias of Maestro Giuseppe Verdi specifically for the chamber ensemble of the harp duo and The Queen's Harp (Da Vinci Ed., 2017), a focus on the Parisian salons of the last decades of the Ancien Régime, the golden age for the harp, which became the most fashionable instrument in pre-revolutionary Paris. 

They held concerts for prestigious festivals and exhibitions: among the most prestigious we can mention the Bellagio Festival and Lake Como, the Company dei Concerti in Milan, the concert season Belluno, the Verdi Festival in Parma, the Aperitif Concerts of Arturo Foundation Toscanini , the International Festival of Harp Sounds in Salsomaggiore Terme (PR) and the International Festival of the Viggianese Harp (PZ).   

They are active in the didactic field, teaching Harp at the ISSM Orazio Vecchi in Modena and the Liceo Musicale Attilio Bertolucci in Parma.
