I am taking time offline to work on my music projects and develop innovative ideas so won't be checking my social media accounts for a while ⏳

📬 you can still reach me by email, WhatsApp, Fb messenger, through my website and by post (I love postcards and messages 🙃)

🎶 In the meantime, take care and enjoy the offline world at your doorstep.

My first single ever is out! Rameau - "le rappel des oiseaux" is dedicated to my grandparents who recently celebrated 60 years together.

It's a recording I did for them honouring how they approach life with love, resilience, forgiveness and battle the storms of life together like the two birds in Rameau's delightful, sorrowful yet hopeful music.

We're all apart from people we love these days, so this is a longing for the time when we can hug those we love.

🚲 Anyone in London selling a bike? Also fun story...

🇬🇧 If you are in London and have a lonely bike sitting in your backyard, even if it has some missing parts or is perfectly imperfect, DM me I would love to hear from you!

📸 Last Summer I did a competition by @transportforlondon for an electric bike using this very photo. Didn't win the bike but won a @goprouk which I used to film my vlogs on my YouTube channel. You don't always get what you want but sometimes it's even better! But I still want a bike 😉

🙏 With your help I might be able to get a real bike - not just a pavement painting :))

THANK YOU ✨

MARCH NEWS 🎶✨ I have been working A LOT behind-the-scenes to bring you music and a very exciting project in-the-making about HOPE 👀

I am going to post some videos and artistic photos of various lockdown projects and fun things in the upcoming days so STAY TUNED.

Want to be the very first to know about my thrilling projects? subscribe to my NEWSLETTER on my website (link in bio), you don't want to miss out (on the good news and on my first newsletter ventures) 😃

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 😃

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?
