Chiara Capobianco was born in Milano, Italy in 1980. She is a music graduate in harp (10 year course) from Conservatorio Giuseppe Verdi of Milano and a university graduate in musicology (3 year course) from Scuola di Paleografia e Filologia Musicale di Cremona (Università degli Studi di Pavia-Italy). When she was fifteen years old, she started playing with many different operatic and symphonic orchestras touring all over Europe.
She has performed at many concerts and events with both classic and Irish harp as a solo harpist, alongside other musicians. She studied different types of music, which have given her a varied repertoire ranging from classical, Medieval, Renaissance, Irish, popular, and contemporary music.
In 2003, she moved to London where she performed in several renowned venues. Since September 2004, she has been playing on the prestigious Cunard ships Queen Mary II, Queen Elizabeth II, and Queen Victoria traveling all over the world visiting every continent. She is now based in the USA.
Free concerts at noon every Monday year-round . . . no wonder the Mini-Concerts are the longest-running and one of the most popular classical music series at the library! This series was founded by Glenna Hazleton in 1970 at the Athenaeum, and has been going strong ever since. The concerts feature both local and touring musicians, prize-winning students, university music faculty members, local chamber ensembles. . . and the repertoire also includes jazz, folk, and world music. There are no reservations, no tickets . . . just line up at the side door of the Athenaeum before noon. (Donations are always welcome!) Mini-Concerts take place every Monday at noon and last about an hour.
The concerts will be in person at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library. There are no physical tickets for these events. Doors open at 11:50 a.m. Seating is first-come; first-served. These events will be presented in compliance with State of California and County of San Diego health regulations as applicable at the time of each concert.
