Harriet Adie began playing the harp when she was nine years old and gave her first concert whilst living in the Sultanate of Oman, for the charity Race Aid.

She was a Music Scholar at Queenswood School and has just completed her A levels. She has been given a place to read music at Balliol College, Oxford.

In addition to playing the harp, she is a keen pianist, singer and composer. One of her compositions "Wind and Rain" won her seventh place in the 1995 Young Composer of the Year Competition.

In 1996 she gave the opening recital at the Minehead and Exmoor Festival and was also accepted at the Royal College of Music as a Junior Exhibitioner to study harp with Daphne Boden.
 

During 1997 she took part in a masterclass with Osian Ellis and a workshop with Hugh Webb.

In the summer of 1998, she will be a guest soloist with the NISA string course for their concert in St. John's Smith Square.

She has played with a number of orchestras including the Somerset Youth Orchestra and Royal College Sinfonia.

In addition to giving concerts, she plays at functions and weddings as far afield as Kenwood House in London and Falmouth.

Her repertoire is wide and varied ranging from music from the film "Titanic" to Gershwin to Bach.
