Harp Day
With Catrin Finch
25th November 2012 | 9.30-6.00 | Sawston Village College
It gives us great pleasure to invite all harpists to join one of the world’s leading players and former Royal Harpist to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales Catrin Finch for a truly unique experience. Catrin is committed to promoting the harp to a new and wider audience and this day will give you the chance to meet, listen and play with her. The day will have workshops, ensembles for differing abilities, talks, trade stands and concerts. Catrin’s versatility in different musical genres, demonstrated in her many recordings ranging from solo classical recitals and concertos to an eclectic cross-over mix with her own band CF47 is guaranteed to make this an extra ordinary day for all.
Catrin Finch Biography
Catrin Finch is the former Royal Harpist to H.R.H. the Prince of Wales. Holding the appointment from 2000-2004, she had the honour of reviving this ancient tradition last held in 1873. During her period as Royal Harpist she played regularly at the Royal Palaces and performed to Royalty from around the world. She has performed extensively throughout the U.S.A., South America, the Middle East, Asia and Europe and has appeared with many of the world’s top orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Catrin’s recording of J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations was released by Deutsche Grammophon in January 2009 and entered the UK Classical charts at number 1.
