Amelie Jade Knapp - on the harp

We can’t announce much more, except that we are proud to welcome Amelie back to Herzstück with her music
and her charisma.

They say music is the language of the soul. For Amelie Jade Knapp, this is definitely true. Even in her young years, she has earned a remarkable reputation as a musician with a unique character.

I was born on 02.07.08 in Vienna. Six years earlier, my older brother Noah was born. Our interests are very different, but when it comes down to it, we support each other immensely. At the age of four, I started playing the flute. Initially, my mum, and later my flute teacher, whom I actually snatched from my brother after he no longer wanted her, marked the notes with colours because I couldn’t read music yet.

Unlike many others, I still play the recorder family with dedication today.

My mother, seeing my undeniable enthusiasm and talent for music, wanted me to learn the violin. However, after the very first lesson, this instrument held no interest for me. Instead, I desperately wanted to play the harp, like princesses, which is what I considered myself to be at the time.
My parents and I managed to convince my then and current harp teacher (Mag. Andrea Hampel) in 2013 to teach me despite my young age. By the way, after my first harp lesson, I told my parents that I would become a harpist.

Since 2019, I have been playing a concert harp with 47 strings and 21 possible pedal positions. This musical instrument, mine is called “Flora” by the way, allows me to play the entire harp literature at my concerts. However, my favourite pieces at the moment are from the Romantic era.

Besides solo pieces, which are a great passion of mine, I am also an enthusiastic orchestral harpist. In addition to performances with “der Camerata Carnuntum”, the Lyra Chamber Orchestra, the Gumpoldskirchner Spatzen and the Trachtenkapelle Trautmannsdorf, I primarily play with the “Young Master Ensemble”. I have been a member of this ensemble since 2020. It is an orchestra for the gifted promotion programme of the Johann Sebastian Bach Music School and the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
