Emilia Moskvitina (1939–2026) was a Soviet and Russian harpist and professor. She was born in Moscow on March 14, 1939, and graduated from the Moscow Conservatory in 1962, where her teacher was Vera Dulova.
Moskvitina began her orchestral career in 1963. For more than twenty years, she was solo harpist with the Moscow State Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra. In 1987, she joined the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra as a soloist.
She won first prize at the 1963 All-Union Competition for Performing Musicians in Leningrad, second prize at the 1965 International Harp Competition in Tel Aviv, and was a laureate of the 1968 International Harp Competition in Hartford. She was named Honored Artist of the Russian SFSR in 1977 and People's Artist of the Russian Federation in 1994.
Moskvitina released four solo albums: Virtuoso Music, Chamber Music, Early Music, and Popular Music. She also gave master classes in the Netherlands and Japan. Musicologist Boris Dobrokhotov described her style as neither Romantic nor Classical, but closer to Impressionism, emphasizing fleeting images and moods and a varied sound palette.
From 1990, she taught harp at the Frédéric Chopin Moscow State College of Musical Performance. She taught at the Gnessin Music College from 1992 to 1999, was professor of harp at the Academy of Fine Arts from 1995 to 2004, and became professor of harp at the Moscow State Conservatory in 2010. She died in Moscow on July 29, 2026.
