Alexander Boldachev

Alexander Boldachev is a groundbreaking harpist who's redefining what's possible with classical strings. This Russian-born virtuoso (who now calls Zurich home) studied at Saint Petersburg's prestigious Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory before becoming an international sensation. Known for his jaw-dropping technical skills and genre-blending creativity, Boldachev turns rock anthems like Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" into breathtaking harp arrangements while still honoring classical gems like "Recuerdos de la Alhambra."

His recent releases show his unique musical vision - from Ukrainian-inspired Christmas carols in "Carol of the Bells (Zurich & Kyiv Version)" to David Bowie covers that sound interstellar on harp strings. Boldachev keeps surprising audiences through concert stages and streaming platforms alike, proving the harp can rock just as hard as any electric guitar when in the right hands. Whether he's reimagining Radiohead or Francisco Tárrega, his playing always reveals new dimensions in familiar melodies.
