Classical Concert Harp

Orchestras & Choral Societies - Personal Projects

I can’t quite believe I’ve now clocked up nearly 30 years’ experience playing classical pedal harp professionally in concerts and for weddings and events.

I recently moved to Aberdeenshire and will consider work throughout Scotland.

If you are looking to book an orchestral harpist for your concert, drop me a line (kirstywhatley@hotmail.com or 07930 148531). I would usually expect to come and join you for the final rehearsal on the concert day and (of course!) the concert itself. I’m happy to talk fees, rehearsal requirements and musical arrangements to hopefully suit everyone. Recent concerts have included the ever-wonderful Requiems of Faure, Rutter, Durufle, Brahms; orchestral pieces by Elgar, Mahler, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich; and Britten’s Ceremony of Carols.

Personal Projects

I am usually also developing my own projects. Please take a look here if you’re interested in past and pipeline projects: Personal Projects
