Harriet Adie - Harpist

Description

Recently featured on Scala Radio as ‘One to Watch’ (December 2022), Harriet is in high demand for weddings and functions due to her expertise and performing flair. With over 15 years of experience in the industry, Harriet combines her musical talent with absolute professionalism and a ‘can do’ attitude.

Harriet’s harp has taken her to diverse locations and star studded events including a performance in front of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II as part of the celebrations for her Diamond Jubilee, an appearance at the BRIT Awards and a live duet on TV with Dermot O'Leary for Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother. A versatile performer, not only has she has dressed up as an angel to appear at London’s Fabric Night Club and recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios, but she has also performed on BBC 1's Songs of Praise, played live on ITV's Good Morning Britain, and filmed for the ITV drama series Harlots and for Channel 5’s The Hotel Inspector. For several years she performed regular recitals on cruise ships including Cunard’s legendary QE2, and also Fred Olsen and P & O cruises. Harriet has played in all the major London Hotels including Claridges, The Ritz, the Savoy, and the Dorchester.

Harriet is a founding member of the internationally recognized ensemble 4 Girls 4 Harps, whose music has been broadcast on Classic FM, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 4, as well as across the world as far as Australia and the USA.

Alongside her career as a professional harpist, Harriet is also a composer whose compositions and arrangements have been broadcast on Classic FM and BBC Radio 3 in the UK, and for radio stations across the world. Her arrangements of Christmas Carols for harp quartet were described by BBC Music Magazine as ‘sparklingly energetic’.

Harriet performs mainly on her two full-size concert harps: a natural wood finish Salvi Diana and a stunning golden Salvi Electra. She can also provide a smaller Clarsach 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.
