About this artist
Harriet Adie was an Instrumental Exhibitioner at Balliol College, Oxford where she read Music. Before this she was a student of Daphne Boden at the Royal College of Music Junior Department where she was successful in many competitions. She continued her studies with Imogen Barford at Trinity College of Music, supported by awards from the Musician’s Benevolent Fund, the Countess of Munster Musical Trust and the Martin Musical Scholarship Fund.
As a soloist she has given many recitals at major London venues including St Martin’s-in-the-Fields, and she played at St James’s Palace for a celebration of the Queen Mother’s 100th birthday. In the past year she has appeared at the Swaledale Festival, toured the Mediterranean aboard the QE2, performed the Debussy Dances with the Dart Festival Orchestra, and the Mozart Flute and Harp Concerto with the Ten Tors Orchestra. As part of her award from the Martin Musical Fund, in 2004 she toured with the Unicorn Theatre Project / Philharmonia Orchestra for their production of the opera Clockwork, culminating in performances at the Linbury Studio Theatre, Covent Garden. She also travelled to Lebanon with the Young Janacek Orchestra as Principal Harp. Most recently she was awarded 2nd Prize at the hotly contested 2005 London Harp Competition and also performed with the Philharmonia Orchestra in Seville.
Harriet enjoys composing and has written several solo and chamber works. She has had music performed by the Girl Choristers of Exeter Cathedral, at The Two Moors festival, and her critically acclaimed composition, ‘Sun, Moon and Stars’ for harp quartet, was selected for performance at the 9th World Harp Congress this year.
A keen chamber musician, she is a member of the Swan Duo with cellist Jessica Burroughs and plays in an oboe and harp duo with her sister Caroline Adie. Both duos have done concerts as part of the Countess of Munster Recital Scheme, and the Swan Duo was recently selected as one of the Recommended Artists for the 2006 Making Music Young Concert Artists Award. She is also a member of the award-winning Four Girls/Four Harps, who's music has been broadcast on Classic FM and BBC Radio 2's 'Friday Night is Music Night' series. They have played at many prestigious venues such as St James’s Piccadilly, St George’s Bristol and were invited to perform at the 9th World Harp Congress in Dublin last year.
On the lighter side, Harriet has played her harp everywhere from aboard the QE2 as their resident harpist to an appearance on Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother's Little Brother. She has dressed up as an angel to perform at Fabric Night Club and has been the Harpist for the Thursford Christmas Spectacular 2005. She has played at all the major London hotels including the Savoy, Claridges and the Dorchester, and can be seen regularly at Kai Restaurant, Mayfair.
