Ellie
Harpist
Biography
If you're looking to set an elegant ambiance, then the harp is the perfect instrument to elevate your special day.
From Aphex Twin to Bach, and Taylor Swift to Vivaldi and way beyond, classically trained harpist Ellie has got you covered with her heavenly harp sounds and a gigantic repertoire.
Ellie is experienced wedding musician and has performed throughout the country at some of the UK's most spectacular venues. Ellie is classically trained and gained a first class honours and masters degree from the Royal Northern College of Music. She regularly performs with ensembles such as the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Northern Ballet Sinfonia and has also performed alongside well known names including Nicola Benedetti, Katherine Jenkins, Russel Watson and the rock band Evanescence.
Ellie has a wealth of repertoire that will suit traditional tastes, but she regularly receives compliments for her contemporary repertoire. Ellie's song list is entirely devised from arrangements that she created by listening to a song and then transcribing the sheet music by ear.
Ellie takes a lot of care and consideration when learning new songs, and she prides herself in creating arrangements that both capture the character of the song and also sounds idiomatic on the harp. As of autumn 2023, Ellie's harp has had hidden microphones installed so is able to provide amplification for all bookings. The amplifier is discreet and is battery powered, meaning it can be used outdoors.
