Research — L'eco dal popolo
L'eco dal popolo (The Echo from the People) rediscovers the forgotten harp
repertoire of 19th-century Southern Italy through three echoes of Sicilian
history: the Sicilian Vespers of 1282, the uprising of 1848 and the landing of the
Thousand in 1860. The research was completed at the Royal Conservatoire of The
Hague in 2024/2025 under the supervision of Andrew Wright, and published on the
Research Catalogue (DOI 10.22501/koncon.3101116). It produced Sikelia, a
new work made with the Composition Department of the Conservatory of Palermo.
