Biography

Hailed by the New York Times as a “brilliant harpist”, when Remy van Kesteren (1989) plays the harp, it sounds like you have never heard it before. When Remy was five years old and was enchanted by the sound of the instrument while in a garden, he knew straight away that that was it. He developed into an internationally renowned harpist, won all manner of awards and competitions, and played in concert halls all over the world. But then Remy reached the age of 25 and knew: this isn’t it. Not anymore. Not all of it. 
 This realisation led, in 2016, to Tomorrow Eyes, the genre-transcending album containing a number of pieces composed by Remy himself. He went from playing with world-famous orchestras to playing in the club and at pop festivals, performing with his band. He intends to find the boundaries of his instrument and then improve it. This is why he is the only person in the world with a specially designed and crafted harp with 49 strings: the Salvi Réus. With this harp Remy followed his debut album with the pioneering Shadows (2019), An alternative soundtrack to the motion picture... (2020) and four EP’s: Home Studio Sessions (2020), Places I May Have Visited, People I May Have Met Pt. 1, 2 & 3 (2022). And now, in 2023, Remy is about to release new music.
