Elizabeth Bass is one of the leading British harpists of her generation and in 2016 became the first British player to reach the final of the prestigious USA International Harp Competition in Bloomington, Indiana. Since then she has performed with many of this country’s leading orchestras and has given concerts at such places as Vienna’s Musikverein and the Royal Albert Hall. Elizabeth graduated from the Royal Academy of Music in 2017 and has since embraced the variety of settings that playing the harp can take her to, from BBC Proms at the Royal Albert Hall to pop sessions at Abbey Road Studios. In the Spring of 2022 Elizabeth was appointed Section Principal Harp of the BBC Concert Orchestra.
