Peggy (solo harp)

  • from £250 in London Help
  • from £270 in South East

An exquisitely tasteful and highly experienced prize-winning solo harpist playing classical, jazz and pop favourites, TV and movie theme tunes and songs from musicals.

A multiple musical prize-winner, Peggy has many years of experience having played at countless weddings and private functions, given solo recitals and performed with chamber music groups and orchestras throughout the UK and Europe, and as far afield as South America.

After studying at the Conservatoire de Paris and the Royal College of Music, and winning numerous prizes for harp and chamber music in her native France, Peggy has gone on perform with a number of prestigious ensembles. These include the London Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, the Bloomsbury Chamber Orchestra and the Southbank Sinfonia in the UK, and the Orchestre DPMO, Orchestre Pasdeloup and the Maurice Ravel Orchestra in France.

She has played in public concerts and recitals at venues including St-Martin in the field, St- Michaels Church and Kensington Palace in London, the Theatre des champs Elysées and Opera comique in Paris, and the National Opera in Nice. Private bookings have included events at Harrods, the Ritz and Royal Lancaster Hotels, the Institute of Contemporary Art, The National Gallery and The Victoria and Albert Museum. A particular highlight was playing at Coworth Park, Ascot in the presence of HRH Princes William and Harry.

Peggy will go out of her way to make sure her repertoire choices are right for your event, and is always happy to advise on appropriate pieces, especially for weddings. Based on experience, she can suggest the ideal pieces of music to accompany a wedding procession, the signing of the registers and the bridal recession.
