Klara Poznachowska is a versatile harpist and composer from Poland, celebrated for her broad
stylistic range spanning classical, contemporary, and jazz music. She began her musical
education under the guidance of Professor Alina Baranowska, who mentored her through
numerous classical and contemporary competitions and festivals across Europe.
In 2020, Klara was awarded a full-tuition scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music, where
she had the opportunity to study and perform with renowned artists including Billy Childs, Joe
Lovano, Danilo Pérez, John Patitucci, Brian Blade, Kenny Werner, Jerry Bergonzi, and David
Sánchez.
During her time at Berklee, she met Iranian clarinetist Mehrpouya Daneshvar, with whom she
co-created the Klemer Trio, joined by double bassist Lucas Phillips. Together, they explore a
unique sound at the intersection of Eastern European, Middle Eastern, and jazz traditions.
After earning her bachelor’s degree in Performance, Klara continued her studies at the Berklee
Global Jazz Institute, where she is currently completing her master’s program. Her current
research and artistic work focus on the cultural and historical significance of Ukrainian heritage
in a global context.
