She studied Classical Music at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague with Ernestine Stoop, where she has just finished a Master\u2019s in New Audiences and Innovative Practice, under the guidance of Percussionist Renee Jonker and having her main instrument lessons with Sylvain Blassel. In Autumn 2024, she studied with harpist-composer Caroline Lizotte in Montr\u00e9al through an Erasmus Exchange, deepening her understanding of electroacoustic harp techniques. Coming Fall of 2025, Kyra will continue her studies with a Master in Interpretation at the Facult\u00e9 de Musique de l\u2019Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, for which she received a scholarship by the Cultuurfonds, a prestigious culture foundation in The Netherlands. Kyra explores the intersection of traditional harp performance and modern technology, integrating live electronics to expand the instrument\u2019s expressive potential. Through her work, she seeks to redefine the role of the harp in contemporary music, using electronic effects to open new creative possibilities in both composition and improvisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/kyra.frimout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260507_161944970_iOS-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-67\" style=\"width:462px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kyra.frimout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260507_161944970_iOS-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/kyra.frimout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260507_161944970_iOS-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/kyra.frimout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260507_161944970_iOS-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kyra.frimout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260507_161944970_iOS-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kyra.frimout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260507_161944970_iOS-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/kyra.frimout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/20260507_161944970_iOS-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo: Philippe-Olivier Gagnon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biography Kyra Frimout is a harpist and singer with a passion for contemporary and electroacoustic music.
