The project

Maria Kruse is the harp-focused music project led by Jon Magnusson, bringing together lullabies and children's melodies in solo harp editions and recordings with ocean soundscapes.

The catalogue includes Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, Brahms' Lullaby and A la Nanita Nana, with different versions offering different settings for familiar music. The early Nursery Rhymes for Harp release sits alongside later collections such as Arpa Sola and Arpa del Mar.

As part of the Somnia Lullabies family, the project offers music for shared listening and quiet moments. Jon brings the project into his wider musical world, while individual recordings reflect the work of their credited contributors. The catalogue includes productions by Steven Vrancken. Explore the selected recordings, compare the editions and follow Maria Kruse on Spotify to hear more of the repertoire.
