Since forming in 2000, under the guidance of Daphne Boden at the Royal College of Music in London, 4 Girls 4 Harps have gone from strength to strength, creating and commissioning new music for harp quartet. Whilst each member of the group enjoys a successful, varied career in their own right, the girls agree that rehearsing and performing as a unit is a real meeting of minds – complimenting each others’ musical personalities.

In the past few years, the sound of 4 Girls 4 Harps has been heard in numerous venues and festivals in the UK and across Europe. They have performed live on BBC Radio 2’s Friday Night is Music Night and were part of the opening celebrations of London’s new multi-concert hall complex, King’s Place.
