Eleanor’s beautiful music can be a wonderful addition to your event. Be it an intimate gathering with subtle background music, a recital, or a children’s concert, Eleanor can make it happen. She plays a Salvi Diana concert harp, a Salvi Echo electro-acoustic and an electric Delta Harp, also by Salvi, and frequently uses loop pedals to experiment and bring the best out of her performance.

Having made her professional debut aged 15 at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Eleanor has gone on to forge a unique career of performing, teaching and composing. Now Head of Harp at The Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, Eleanor’s drive to push the harp to new places is unrelenting. Her own influences are drawn from far and wide, and include jazz harpists Park Stickney and Deborah Henson-Conant, early music and virtually any performer she comes across, be it an artist, actor or musician. Eleanor creates Indian-western fusion music with tabla player Mendi Singh and tours with her band Ranagrí, often with pop legend Tony Christie.

With captivating performances and complete engagement with the music, Eleanor’s performances have to be witnessed to experience their magic. She captures the essence of every piece she plays and is a true ambassador for the harp, and music.
