In 2026, esteemed Austrian harpist Monika Stadler returns to Wales for a series of concerts.

Stadler is one of the most creative solo harpists in Europe. She studied classical harp at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna under Prof. Blovsky-Miller (diploma with highest honors), and jazz harp with Deborah Henson-Conant in Boston, USA, where she won several awards at international jazz harp competitions. After engagements with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, she now performs as a soloist, in duet or trio formations, exclusively with her own projects. Apart from her intensive schedule as a performer throughout Europe, the US, Canada, the Middle East and Asia, she also teaches many jazz & improvisation workshops for harpists. Since 2010 she has been a guest professor for jazz harp at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London as well as a staff member of the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, Austria, teaching improvisation and creative playing for all instruments. To date she has released 13 CDs.
