This week: 'Elizabeth-Jane Baldry (harp)'.

Elizabeth-Jane Baldry fell in love with the harp as a little girl whilst reading fairytales in which the harp had magical powers! Born in Hampshire, she studied music at Exeter University and harp at the Royal College, and has been freelancing as a professional harpist for thirty years. Her uniquely rich tone on the harp has graced many film and television soundtracks screened in over thirty countries. She is the only specialist silent movie harpist in the UK, composing and performing live accompaniment to cinema screenings of early film.
Elizabeth-Jane’s compositions have been used by ITV, the BBC and by Irish, Japanese, Danish and Canadian film, radio and television. Elizabeth-Jane lives here in Chagford and is the artistic director for Chagford Summer Music series of lunchtime concerts.
