4 Girls/4 Harps (The Barkham Harp Quartet) was formed in 2000 and is made up of four award-winning harpists, three of whom studied with Daphne Boden at the Royal College of Music. They have given concerts at many venues and festivals including the Two Moors, Windsor, Bromsgrove and Three Choirs Festivals and were chosen for Blackheath Halls Young Artist’s Series 2003-4. Their first CD, funded by the Tillett Trust, was released at the end of 2002. Composers today are discovering the enormous musical excitement and variety the harp is capable of, and with four harps the scope is wider still. The Quartet strongly supports new music and is continually developing their eclectic repertoire. So far, they have commissioned and premiered four dramatically contrasting works: Edward Watson’s A Celtic Springtime (sponsored by the Vaughan Williams Trust); The Island by Eleanor Turner; Sun, Moon and Stars by Harriet Adie and Edward Longstaff’s Saraswati.
