As a solo
harpist Harriet has given many recitals at major London
venues including St Martin’s-in-the-Fields, and she
played at St James’s Palace for a celebration of the
Queen Mother’s 100th birthday. She has
appeared at the Swaledale Festival, toured the
Mediterranean aboard the QE2, performed the Debussy
Dances with the Dart Festival Orchestra, and the Mozart
Flute and Harp Concerto with the Ten Tors Orchestra. As
part of her award from the Martin Musical Fund, in 2004
she toured with the Unicorn Theatre Project /
Philharmonia Orchestra for their production of the opera
Clockwork, culminating in performances at the Linbury
Studio Theatre, Covent Garden. She also travelled to
Lebanon with the Young Janacek Orchestra as Principal
Harp. More recently she was awarded 2nd Prize
at the hotly contested 2005 London Harp Competition and
also performed with the Philharmonia Orchestra in
Seville and for their 2006 Music Of Today series at the
QEH. |

A keen
chamber musician, she is a member of the Swan Duo with
cellist Jessica Burroughs and plays in an oboe and harp
duo with her sister Caroline. Both duos have done
concerts as part of the Countess of Munster Recital
Scheme, and the Swan Duo was recently selected as one of
the Recommended Artists for the 2006 Making Music
Young Concert Artists Award. She is also a member of
the award-winning Four Girls/Four Harps, who's music has
been broadcast on Classic FM and BBC Radio 2's 'Friday
Night is Music Night' series. They have played at many
prestigious venues such as St James’s Piccadilly and St
George’s Bristol, and were invited to perform at the 9th
World Harp Congress in Dublin.
On the
lighter side Harriet has played in all the major London
Hotels including Claridges, The Ritz and the Dorchester
Hotel, she has dressed up as an angel to appear at
Fabric Night Club, duetted live with Dermot O'Leary on
Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother, toured with the QE2
cruise ship, and performed for BBC 1's Songs of Praise.
Her repertoire is enormously varied and she is happy to
take requests with advance warning, and where possible,
on the day.
Weddings
Even with such experience, Harriet still performs at
numerous weddings throughout London and surrounding
counties. She enjoys playing such an important part in a
bride and grooms special day and to this end Harriet has
made performing at weddings her speciality. |
