About


The Scottish Harpist is a talented freelance Harpist who performs throughout Scotland. She is equally versed in both concert and celtic harp, and is the ideal performer for any event or occasion. Performing on a beautiful, bespoke harp with a honey-rich, resonant tone, the Scottish Harpist has received qualifications and accolades from the finest classical institutions in Scotland and Ireland, including the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Royal Irish Academy of Music and receiving additional certification from the London College of Music Diploma, recognising her exceptional skill as a harpist. Her Harp has been specially designed to be both portable, and to project sound to fill any venue. Her experience, confidence and commitment will help your event to run smoothly whilst you experience the magical sound of the Harp.

In addition to her extensive classical repertoire, the Scottish Harpist performs traditional standards from all over the world - from well-known tunes to exploring more uncommon repertoires, pushing the boundaries of playing the harp. However, it doesn’t stop there - the Scottish Harpist also performs modern classics in a truly original way, arranging songs from popular artists of the charts. Do not be surpised to see hits from Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Adele, Snow Patrol, The Beatles and Metallica in her performances! Film themes and lighter, jazzier sounds are also available. 

Her music is perfect for wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions, dinners and background music so if you are looking for a touch of class to add to your event - with an optional twist - look no further than the Scottish Harpist.
