Vincent Amir-Tahmasseb, harp
From Rameau to Holliger, this recital draws a delicate line between tradition and modernity. The harp alternately showcases its French elegance, its impressionistic hues, and its contemporary boldness, ranging from the refined dances of the 18th century to Debussy’s inner landscapes. With the brilliant virtuosity of *Carnaval de Venise*, the instrument reveals the full range of its possibilities, blending delicacy, clarity, and brilliance. A musical journey in which each piece illuminates a different facet of the harp.
Biography of Vincent Amir-Tahmasseb
Drawn to music from a very young age, Vincent began his musical studies with the harp at the age of seven at the Reims Regional Conservatory. Five years later, he took up the piano at the same conservatory, where he received guidance from Jean-Louis Delahaut, Emmanuelle Moriat, and Jacqueline Bensimhon. A versatile and inquisitive instrumentalist, he took courses in chamber music, accompaniment, composition, and music analysis. At the same time, he studied conducting and orchestration at the Saint-Maur-des-Fossés Regional Conservatory under Olivier Kaspar. After earning his Diplômes d’Etudes Musicales in music theory, harp, piano, and composition, he was admitted in 2025 to the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris to study harp in Isabelle Moretti’s class. Eager to continue an active and demanding practice of the piano, he returned that same year to the Conservatoire de Saint-Maur-des-Fossés to study piano in Fernando Rossano’s class and accompaniment in Jean-Louis Roblin’s class. Interested in multidisciplinary artistic projects, he participated in September 2024 in the Soirée Jeunes Talents organized by Christine Berg and the Ici et Maintenant Théâtre company. He also had the opportunity to accompany dancers, notably in the dance accompaniment class and during performances.
