About Stephanie

Having completed classical training on the violin and voice, Stephanie was introduced to the harp while studying music and mathematics at University of Birmingham. While completing her degree, Stephanie sang as a Lay Clerk at St Chad's Cathedral as well as playing with the university ensemble Stella Maris, specialising in French and English medieval music. This has led to professional engagements including concerts at Aust Church and Southwark Cathedral.

However a visit to the Edinburgh Harp Festival convinced Stephanie of the beauty of traditional repertoire and her musical direction broadened. She has since devoted much of her time to absorbing, arranging and teaching traditional harp music, playing for spoken word as well as a wide range of musicians.

Stephanie plays for weddings, functions, events and concerts in prestigious venues such as Claridges, the Landmark Marylebone and Pendley Manor. She is also at home in more intimate and historical venues such as Missenden Abbey and Hatfield House, as well as marquees and gardens across the country.
