Late Night Jazz: Marysia Osu at Royal Albert Hall

Polish-born, London-based harpist, producer, and composer Marysia Osu joins us in the Elgar Room.

known for her innovative blend of classical, ambient, and jazz music, her debut album, harp, beats & dreams, explores themes of philosophy, dreams, and the interplay between the conscious and unconscious mind. The album is an intimate journey into her inner world, composed as a series of diary-like entries that served her as a means of self-soothing and reflection. Fully self-produced, it documents her evolution as a solo composer and producer.

Marysia graduated with a degree in classical music, specialising in performance on the harp. She began experimenting with new sonic textures during her studies, using effects pedals lent to her by friends from her jazz course. As a harpist making her mark on the London jazz scene, she is a member of Levitation Orchestra and has contributed the distinctive sound of her harp to numerous records, working with artists including Maxwell Owin and Joe Armon-Jones, Puma Blue, Alabaster dePlume, Laura Misch, Yazmin Lacey, and Loyle Carner.
