Biography

Described by MusicWeb International as playing ‘with character and total understanding’, harpist and composer Harriet Adie is known for her intense musicality, creativity, and focus. An accomplished chamber musician, 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. In duo with Jessica Burroughs, Principal Cellist of Opera North, she reached the Finals of the Royal Over-Seas League competition, was selected as a Recommended Artist for Making Music, and performed many recitals under the auspices of the Countess of Munster Recital Scheme. Alongside her career as a professional harpist, Harriet is also a composer specializing in solo and chamber works for harp. Her arrangements of Christmas Carols for harp quartet were described by BBC Music Magazine as ‘sparklingly energetic’. Her critically acclaimed composition, Sun, Moon and Stars for harp quartet, was selected for performance at the 9th World Harp Congress in Dublin, and her 2012 work, Elemental for harp quartet, was performed live on BBC Radio 3. In 2017, a video of Harriet’s harp quartet arrangement of Shostakovich’s famous Waltz no.2 went viral across the world, receiving over 6 million views to date!
