Sivan Magen information

Sivan Magen (born 1980) is an Israeli harpist.

Raised in Jerusalem in a musical family, the child of two cellists,^[1] Magen started his musical studies at the piano with Benjamin Oren and Talma Cohen, and first tried the harp when his family moved to France for a sabbatical. He continued his harp studies with Irena Kaganovski-Kessler in the Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance.^[2] Later he moved to France on his own, where his teachers included Germaine Lorenzini. Magen studied at the Conservatoire National Superieure in Paris,^[3] under the guidance of Isabelle Moretti, where he was a Premier Prix winner. Magen continued his studies at the Juilliard School with Nancy Allen, and earned a Master's degree. In 2006, he became the first, and to date only, Israeli to win the International Harp Contest in Israel.^[4]

In 2012, Magen won the Borletti-Buitoni Trust award. At Juilliard, Magen met fellow Israeli musicians such as pianist Assaff Weisman and clarinetist Tibi Cziger, and the three of them were among the co-founders of the Israeli Chamber Project.^[2] Magen also co-founded the chamber ensemble Tre Voci. He has taught at Brooklyn College. With the 2017-2018 season, Sivan became principal harp of the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra.

Magen has recorded commercially for Linn Records, and also for such labels as ECM and Avie.^[5]
