With a wealth of experience of playing
at events of the highest calibre behind her, Danielle is one of London
and the South East’s most popular harpists for special events. She
regularly plays for distinguished audiences at venues such as the nation’s
leading museums and galleries as well as stately homes. Danielle has played
at all of the region’s leading hotels but also performs at private
parties in homes and marquees.
Her repertoire includes everything you would
think playable on the harp and plenty that you would think could not be!
This includes the more obvious categories such as light classical music,
music from shows and musicals and traditional music, but also current chart
numbers and popular music from the whole of the 20th and 21st centuries
including jazz, Jewish music, Japanese music and now even, with flautist
Timothy Kipling, Chinese music. Styles can be upbeat or soothing, and Danielle
is always happy to match the music to the style which you wish to set for
your event. This attention to detail also extends to dress and choice of
instrument: In addition to the modern concert harp, Danielle has a number
of different harps from different periods to choose from, extending from
the late 18th century through to a brightly coloured modern electric ‘celtic’ harp
and Danielle will endeavour to match her outfit to your colour scheme or
theme.
As well as solo and duo music with flute, Danielle also performs
with flute and oboe or viola or cello together, multiple harps, violin,
voice, horn, clarinet, or with a dancer performing in a variety of dance
styles from Baroque to modern Jazz and tap. On the concert platform, Danielle
is one of this country's most sought after harpists both as a soloist and
chamber music player. She has won various major awards and was the first
person at Goldsmiths' College, London University, to gain a Master's degree
in performance.
She has broadcast around the world and as a soloist and duo
partner has appeared on two recital tours of Australia and also New Zealand,
USA, Zimbabwe, South Korea, Malaysia, Japan, Hong Kong, France, Czech Republic & Ireland.
Notable amongst Danielle's other activities are the huge Harpathons which
she organises for charity involving harpists from around the world.
