Trailblazing harpist with a vision // Based in London

Wow! 🙏 🌈 Feedback from my solo recital last Wow! 🙏 🌈 Feedback from my solo recital last week for the @u3auk. Thank you Chris Steward for inviting me, entrusting me with this first opening recital and for the amazing audience, a day I will long remember. Looking forward to being back in November!

🌱 Last picture is a reminder that every reward or harvest is the fruit of (mostly invisible) long-term efforts and seemingly slow growth.

Over the past year I have been "cultivating my own Over the past year I have been "cultivating my own garden" as Voltaire poetically wrote, both literally and figuratively.

I'm happy to be back online after a nearly 11 month hiatus. I can honestly vouch for the peace, freedom and fulfilment I've felt; the irreplaceable blissful feeling of living events in the present moment for their own intrinsic value and for how they matter to me (and just me); how it helped me fully focus on my own development, professionally and personally, especially while the uncertainty of the pandemic made me feel stuck in my endeavours - we're not out of the woods yet but there is a sense of bright hope. There have definitely been painful moments of deep questioning, which watered with the right support, love, attention and care (thank you) turned out to be a very fertile soil for both personal and artistic growth.

I have been planting many musical seeds (being offline offers the extra bonus of more available time) and while these innovative projects take time to bloom into fruitful harmonious art that I can gift
to the world, I thought I would share with you the recent harvest of good news.

I will post harp and music-related content (including some funky highlights from this past year) here so stay tuned.

Oh and last important thing: it’s really good to see you here again!
Take care, H

My first single ever is out! Rameau - "le rappel d 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 sto 🚲 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 ✨

Seems so surreal to have done my West End debut th 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 celebrat 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? 👀
