The Worcestershire Harpist studied with the much renowned Sanchia Pielou, graduated from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama with a BA in Music Performance and was immediately invited to join the orchestra of the Scottish Ballet as principal harpist in 1985. She enjoyed combining this current role with that of principal harpist with the BBC SSO for many years before recently making her home in Worcestershire.
As well as her orchestral interests, The Worcestershire Harpist is also passionate about the more personal field of weddings and special occasions. With ever-increasing interest in the harp as an accompaniment to events ranging from cocktail parties and product launches to awards ceremonies and dinners, the Worcestershire Harpist enjoys writing her own arrangements of music so many songs are unique to this harpist! As a preferred supplier at many venues including Hagley Hall, The Pear Tree Inn and Country Hotel, Compton Verney and Ettington Chase, this accomplished harpist enjoys entertaining guests in a variety of settings.
Please be aware that The Worcestershire Harpist does not play the harp outside, so although an outdoor ceremony isn't appropriate, sitting just inside open patio doors and using her amplifier usually works well for all, depending upon the layout of the venue and assuming the reasonable proximity of guests!
For Asian Weddings, The Worcestershire Harpist has an extensive repertoire of Bollywood songs, many of which are her own unique arrangements for the harp.
It might be helpful to note that the harp, although it can be amplified is best suited to a ceremony or drinks reception for up to 200, as very large gatherings of several hundred guests can swallow up its delicate and lyrical sound!
