Harpist

Cambridge

Having started to play the harp aged 10 with an instrument made and lent by an uncle, I studied under Alison Nicholls and Danielle Perrett, and also managed to combine music with a BA in Russian by spending a year at the St Petersburg State Conservatoire under Anna Makarova. Since being a student at Cambridge, I've played with various orchestras, including CUMS, CUCO and CGO, as well as local orchestras like Cambridge Symphony Orchestra. I have also enjoyed accompanying choirs, such as St John's and Sidney Sussex chapel choirs, and as an undergrad doing the odd chamber or solo recital with Trinity Hall Music Society. I can provide background music at weddings and functions, too.
