Never ever thought that 2020 and West end debut would be compatible but by far my best experience of this crazy bumpy rollercoaster year.

🌟 Thank you @thelmto and @londonxmascarol and everyone in the team who made this possible.

🎶 Watch my vlog on my YouTube channel - link in bio - to see some exclusive behind-the-scenes of a production in the middle of a pandemic.

Seems so surreal to have done my West End debut the very day before Tier3 restrictions closed theatres (yet again). THANK YOU to @thelmto and the entire team from the show @londonxmascarol at the @dominiontheatre.

From the day 1 of my audition as a deputy harpist I felt so welcomed and every single one member of the orchestra, production and theatre was utterly helpful and kind.

Christmas is all about the joy of giving and kindness so having such a world-class production reflect that during the most abominable circumstances for the live arts was a testimony to the transformative power of music and its ability to connect us.

also... Watch out for my 2nd VLOG coming out later this year 😃

Introducing the orchestra for London Xmas Carol @londonxmascarol at the Dominion Theatre this Christmas. 🤩

We are thrilled to be working with such a talented bunch of musicians, including 27 players selected as part of LMTO’s development scheme.

In two weeks we will meet for our first rehearsal together: we cannot wait to make music with them all and bring @alanmenken 's gorgeous score to life.💛

VLOG ALERT! I can't wait to share with you my very first vlog about my recent audition during covid... Suspense, suspense 🤫 I am also quite nervous, talking to a camera alone on a street is definitely weird (believe me, try it once).

You can watch it from Friday evening on YouTube on my channel (link in bio through my website) and I will try to upload it on Instagram too.

Now off to finish the last edits and hopefully the rendering won't be too long 🤞

See you soon!

Henriette Renié - Ballade Fantastique 🎶 1 year

Henriette Renié - Ballade Fantastique 🎶 1 year ago on this day from my solo recital at St James Piccadilly Church right off the iconic Piccadilly Circus with the photogenic @cocacola adverts and London's red buses.

🎧 30 seconds into the video is my favourite passage of the whole piece with the left hand playing staccato repeated notes which in the story represent the heartbeats of the victim who's been murdered by the narrator; the right hand is a variation of the theme with fast notes to express a feeling of urgency and finale.

Did you hear it?

I absolutely love this section and its brilliant writing ❤️ and it was written by a woman for once, yesss

Just married (sort of)... My grandparents celebrated 60 years together ❤️ that's 21'900 days! They have a smashing sense of humour and from patience and perseverance, to eating lentils at night without anyone noticing, or hiding messages in empty jam pots in the nature, they taught me so much. My grandad is an expert in coffee and food chemistry, now making the most delicious quince jams ever (I need some more!) My grandma is the most loving human and creative knitter I know, can't wait to discover my new jumper. To many more years 🌞

And they are both on instagram! Who else has grandparents on the gram? 👀

Fantastic music on offer and we say bravo!

Debussy clair de lune 🌕 Debussy was born on this day in 1862; could he know in his early twenties that he had composed what would become one of the most memorable classical piece ever?

Although originally written for the piano it works so well on the harp and one can really hear the gentle breeze of a moonlit Summer night.
Oh and can I say just how much I love my disco ball earrings?
