Alycia de Mesa, also known as
Fire Sparkles the Sky, began the harp as
her third instrument at the age of 10. She studied
classical solo music and played as an orchestral, music
theater and ensemble player throughout her teens and
twenties. Her teachers included Karen Miller, Christine
Vivona, Caroll McLaughlin and Marcella Decray. Today she is
a versatile player of many genres. In addition to
performing classical and contemporary music, her passion is
to create, perform and record original, harp-based music
that blends classical, jazz, world music, and pop within an
improvisational framework
