Lucia Stavros is a New York-based harpist, singer/songwriter, and producer. Lucia’s projects explore the spiritual and emotional connections developed in music and through music. As described by The Deli Magazine, Lucia’s “show-stealing, often mysterious lyricism, creates an intergenerational atmosphere chamber pop that feels as modern as it does baroque.” Her debut independently produced solo album, Burn You Up, was released in September 2023.
Burn You Up is “... a seamless combination of sounds, as Stavros has integrated all her inspirations into something quite personal that practically any listener can relate to,” reports The Spill Magazine.
This performance features the live version of Burn You Up with Lucia on harp and vocals, Riccardo Belletta on drums, and Mark Stewart on electric bass.
This event is part of the UMass Amherst 2024 Spring Arts Festival. Learn more about the festival on the website.
