Rebecca is a highly accomplished harpist with a wealth of experience in many different fields. She is an internationally renowned soloist, dedicated teacher, orchestral performer and recording artist. Her already versatile and varied career has enabled her to work alongside other artists such as Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins, Lesley Garrett, Charlotte Church and Blossoms. Other notable performances include a live TV appearance on ITV’s Coronation Street as well as the 60th birthday celebrations for HRH the Prince of Wales at the Royal Opera house in Covent Garden London.
With a wealth of experience and an enormous repertoire from Bach to Beyonce, Rebecca enjoys adding live music to every occasion and even offers a range of Bollywood music for celebrations - just ask for details.
Rebecca regularly performs on her majestic full-sized classical pedal harp, her 34-string celtic folk harp and her stunning white electronic harp. All of her harps can be amplified if necessary so she will make sure the harp can be heard for your larger-scale events.
Specific musical requests are very welcome and Rebecca will do her best to arrange and tailor music specially for your occasion. All questions welcome.
Her story:
Rebecca is from South Shields and was initially inspired to play the harp by the 1930’s black & white comedy of Harp Marx!
Classically trained, Rebecca was awarded a position at the prestigious Chetham's School of Music and continued her studies at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester with Eira Lynn Jones.
A natural performer, Rebecca is also a passionate orchestral player with various ensembles and she was also the soloist in the Dubios Harp Concerto ‘Fantasia’ at The Sage in Gateshead in 2016. Rebecca is proud to be part of the Scaramouche Flute & Harp Duo and is also a member of the CLOUDS Harp Quartet who are about to release their fourth album. She also enjoys taking her harps into healthcare facilities where she gives regular recitals for charities such as Music in Hospitals and Lime Arts.
Rebecca’s other passion is travelling and she has sailed the high seas on Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and many other beautiful ships for numerous cruise lines in her own electric harp show ‘Have Harp, Will Travel’. She has been collecting her countries, and so far the total is over 80!
Rebecca’s most recent adventure was to Southeast Asia where she spent 9 months teaching the harp in Thailand. She was invited in January 2017 to perform, give private and ensemble tuition at the Tamnak Prathom Harp Centre in Bangkok which is supported by the Thai Royal Family.
Available for last-second bookings! Just send a quick request and Rebecca will get right back to you.
Whatever the occasion, Rebecca will undoubtedly make your day extra special!
