The Vilasi Project is the duo of Bella Clinton and Matt Wisotsky, who first met in Vienna, Austria and years later reconnected in Madison, quickly discovering a shared drive to keep creating and exploring music together. The name “Vilasi,” meaning “luxurious” in Nepali, pays tribute to Bella’s family’s work in Nepal and reflects a commitment to richness in sound, spirit, and generosity. It also honors her mother’s ensemble, The Vilasi Quartet, continuing a legacy of creating music.
Blending Matt’s versatility on woodwinds with Bella’s harp, the duo thrives on unexpected instrumental pairings. Rooted in classical training, their performances expand into improvisation, intuitive listening, and real-time collaboration, making each set a unique musical conversation.

Bella is co-founder and harpist of the Vilasi Project.Bella is a 24-year-old harpist, content creator, and business owner of Bella the Harpist. She is Japanese, Peruvian, and half white, and a big foodie who loves celebrating her culture. Bella studied Harp and Anthropology at Furman University, including a study abroad in Vienna, and performs with the Vilasi Project, exploring improv through harp and winds.

Matt is co-founder, composer & arranger, and woodwind specialist of the Vilasi Project.In addition to his work with the Vilasi Project, he currently plays with the Verona Area Wind Symphony and Madison Gamer Symphony Orchestra. His compositions have been performed in venues including Overture Center for the Arts, Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, and Chapin Hall at Williams College. While off the stage, he is editor of the Greater Madison Jazz Newsletter and a Music Programming Committee member at Art Lit Lab, where he organized the Neuroarts Festival & Sound Garden as an inaugural LAB^4 curator. He is currently a MA candidate at the UW-Madison Bolz Center for Arts
Administration, after which he plans to continue supporting community arts and holistic wellbeing through innovative and nontraditional programming.
