Ariel Bart

Harmonica player and composer, she attended the New School University for Jazz and Contemporary Music in NYC. In May 2021 her debut album "In Between" was published. Bart has a unique approach to the harmonica and her music is inspired by the European jazz tradition and the middle-eastern world.

She was awarded as the first place for the 2021 edition of our contest with the song "Colors Palette". The performance was described as "Expressive, slick performance. A wonderful combination of instruments in cello and harmonica. Played masterfully and showing great skill as an improvisor."

Her entry in the contest was described by our judges as "an incredible composition played by a band who is clearly having the time of their lives.", as they praised the "the fascinating unison melody of the chromatic harmonica and the cello that create a bewitching sound that makes this performance one of the most original of the contest"

"Bart is a star. No doubt about it."
