}}Sofia Asunción Claro (born Santiago, January 30, 1944) is a Chilean-born classical harpist with a special interest in contemporary music. Since 1974 she divides her time between Copenhagen, Denmark and Santiago, Chile. Biography Ms. Claro was introduced to the harp by her mother at the age of 8 and shortly after initiated her studies at the Conservatorio Nacional de Musica de la Universidad de Chile. In 1964 she moved to Germany to study with Ursula Lendrot at the Hochschule für Music in Munich, and in 1966 she was admitted as a national student to the Conservatoire National Supérieur in Paris where she studied until 1968 with Gérard Devos. She was then admitted to the Royal Danish Academy of Music finalizing her studies in 1979 with Inga Graae and making Copenhagen her residency. Career From 1974 Ms. Claro gives concerts regularly across Scandinavia, Europe and Latin America as soloist with orchestra, in solo recitals, chamber music and in "Duo Claro" with Danish flutist Lars Graugaard. She performs the classical repertoire as well as contemporary music and she regularly holds master classes in connection with her concerts. Over the years she has developed close contact with several contemporary composers such as Nicola Sani, Fernando Garcia, Per Nørgård, Fausto Romitelli, Gustavo Becerra, Agostino Di Scipio and Åke Parmerud and she commissions and premieres a large body of works out of which more than 50 are dedicated to her. This has served to enhance not only the repertoire for acoustic harp but also for novel settings of harp and electronics, both with tape and with interactive computer, with several of these works becoming part of the harp’s core repertoire.
