Harriet – Harpist

Classical, Bollywood and Pop Music Harpist

Harriet will tailor her music to suit each individual event and client’s tastes. Her repertoire is enormously varied and she is happy to take requests with advance requests, and where possible, on the day. She is as equally happy performing light Classical, folk, or jazz tunes, as she is pop and Bollywood music.

If you would like to help in choosing the music, she is able to provide a comprehensive selection of pieces which work well for the different parts of the day. The right sounds can inspire and complement a magical event, and Harriet will ensure that the music for your day is unique and a lasting memory.

Harriet performs mainly on her full-size concert grand harp but can also provide a smaller Clarsach (folk harp) harp (useful when space is at a premium), and for a more contemporary feel, even a pearlescent white electric harp. Harriet concentrates most of her bookings in London and the Home Counties area, but will also consider events further afield depending on the date and location.
