Elizabeth-Jane
was born in Hampshire. She read music at Exeter
University, travelling to the Royal College of Music in
London for her harp studies.
She gives
around one hundred performances a year from formal
recitals in historic houses or on specialist arts cruises
to weddings and funerals. Her extensive study of Victorian
fairy harp music resulted in a successful CD with
worldwide distribution. She has also contributed to a CD
of chamber music by the composer Paul Lewis also
distributed worldwide. In 1998, she recorded a solo
library disc for Studio G, from which her own compositions
have been used by ITV, the BBC and by Irish, Japanese and
Canadian film, radio and television. Her CD Concert
Favourites includes some of her own compositions. Last
year, she featured in the ITV series Landscapes about
artistes in the South West, and performed on Australian
Classic FM. In May 2006 she was the only British performer
to be shortlisted for Best Classical Event Award in the
combined Brighton Festivals, England's largest Arts
Festival. |

Elizabeth-Jane's unique research into Victorian Fairy Harp
Music has led to many quaint adventures - radio and TV
broadcasts, including a half-hour Radio 4 documentary;
on the West End stage with actor
Simon Callow in a show for which she also wrote the songs;
at the Royal Academy of Art exhibition of Victorian fairy
paintings; at Prince Charles' unveiling of the restored
fairy oak tree in Kensington Gardens; involvement with
Dragons, Elfes et fées, a major French exhibition and an
appearance in award-winning Canadian television
documentary, The Fairy Faith. All this and more besides
making her England's unofficial Fairy Harpist!
Her uniquely
rich tone on the harp has graced several film/TV
soundtracks including more than fifty episodes of ITV's
magical children's series Bernard's Watch which has been
shown in over 30 countries including America, Canada,
Iceland, Kenya, Iran, South Africa, Poland and Cyprus. She
is currently in talks with Bristol Silents to improvise
harp music for silent film screenings, making her the
world's only silent movie harpist. |
