An exploration of Harp & Piano - Marysia Osu & Hanakiv

Event 3.0 of Season 3.0 Piano Day Special 

Piano Day, is an annual worldwide event founded by a group of like-minded people. It takes place on the 88th day of the year because of the number of keys on the instrument being celebrated. 

As part of International Piano Day 2025 SY.Gigs is proud to be hosting two exceptional female artists, Marysia Osu and Hanakiv (Johanna Kivimagi).

Marysia Osu is a Polish born, London based harpist, producer and composer known for her innovative blend of classical, ambient and jazz. Osu’s work reflects a deep connection to beauty, emotion and self-expression.

She is a member of Levitation Orchestra and has blessed records with the dreamy sonics of the harp for artists such as Maxwell Owin & Joe Armon Jones, Puma Blue, Alabaster dePlume, Laura Misch, Yazmin Lacey and Loyle Carner. She released her debut album “harp, beats & dreams” via Gilles Pterson's Brownswood Recordings in 2024.

Hanakiv is a young composer and musician from Estonia (now based in London) who creates meditative piano-based ambient music with elements from classical and electronic music. ‘Goodbyes’ was her debut recording in 2023 on Matthew Halsall's label Gondwana. She draws on influences as diverse as Tim Hecker, Björk “Vespertine”, Kara-Lis Coverdale, Arvo Pärt, Erkki-Sven Tüür and Aphex Twin as well as her own cultural heritage.
