Julie Campiche

About

Julie Campiche (born 1983 in Geneva) is a Swiss jazz harpist who pioneered bringing the harp into improvised music, combining the acoustic instrument with electronic effects and her own voice. She was the first harpist ever to earn a master's degree in jazz composition and performance at the Haute Ecole de Musique in Lausanne. With her quartet - saxophonist Leo Fumagalli, bassist Manu Hagmann and drummer Clemens Kuratle - she released the albums Onkalo (2020) and You Matter (2022), and in 2025 she was awarded the Swiss Music Prize.
