Performance and Concert: Spinedi / Pellicci & Vogel

Stella Spinedi – performance

Constanza Pellicci – voice

Linda Vogel – harp

An extraordinary afternoon with three outstanding artists: the Ticino-based performer Stella Spinedi opens the event with a solo performance where body, gesture, and space merge into an intense, personal exploration. Following her, the innovative Zurich-based duo Linda Vogel (harp) and Constanza Pellicci (voice) takes the audience on a unique sonic journey. Through free improvisation, they weave experimental music with subtle electronic manipulations. After experiences in an international free improvisation orchestra and tours through the Brazilian and Peruvian Amazon, the duo now focuses on developing their own sonic language, always guided by play, joy, curiosity, and love for music.

Stella Rosangela Kiyomi Spinedi (*1999, Mendrisio, Ticino) is a young transdisciplinary artist, performer, and curator. Her artistic approach thrives on tension and potential: she engages physically with materials, transforms the seemingly impossible into concrete experience, and creates objects, installations, and performances in which body, empathy, and materiality play a central role. Her work reflects themes such as family history, craft traditions, physical training, power structures, and politics. She holds a Bachelor in Fine Arts and in 2023 completed a Master in Contemporary Arts Practice at the University of the Arts Bern, as well as a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Management and Cultural Policy. Her works have been presented at venues including Kunsthalle Bern, Pasquart/Espace Libre Biel, and EAC Les Halles. She is co-founder of the collective CALCI.

Linda Vogel (Zurich) is a freelance musician, harpist, improviser, and singer. She studied harp with Xenia Schindler at the University of Music Lucerne and released her debut album Maps To Others in 2019. She performs regularly in concert projects across Switzerland and Germany, including at the Volksbühne Berlin and the Montreux Jazz Festival. In addition to performing, she composes music for film and theater. Since April 2022, she has received a scholarship from the Àrvore Foundation and in 2024 received an artistic grant from the City of Zurich.

Constanza Pellicci, originally from Córdoba, Argentina, is a vocal performance artist. She explores the human voice through free improvisation, performance, writing, and installation, integrating multiple interdisciplinary dimensions in her work. She studied music and philosophy at the University of Córdoba and earned a Master in Contemporary Art Practice at the University of Buenos Aires. Her works have been presented at national and international festivals and exhibitions. Active for over fifteen years in the improvised music scene of Córdoba and Buenos Aires, she has received support from the National Arts Fund, the Botín Foundation, the International University of Andalusia, and programs such as Golondrinas and Obrar.
