Orchestra
Guest harpist with the Belgian National Orchestra since 2021; before Belgium came the Orchestra Giovanile Italiana and the European Union Youth Orchestra. At La Monnaie she works off the stage entirely: as assistant orchestra manager she helps coordinate the chamber music activities and supports the running of the orchestra's activities.
Chamber music
Four standing projects, none of them the same shape: harp and tenor tracing four centuries of repertoire, harp and flute across continents, three harps playing dances, and a soprano-and-electronics duo that takes the old repertoire apart.
Teaching and the Pop'Harpe
A harp costs more than most families will ever spend on an instrument. The Pop'Harpe is made of corrugated cardboard, costs almost nothing, and is a real harp. Eleonora plays one on the floor of Belgian culture centres, surrounded by children who get to explore it hands-on.
Make the Decision
The New Zealand composer Penelope Axtens wrote and dedicated this solo harp piece to Eleonora. Scores, programme notes and performance history are in the press kit.
