Award winning harpist Luisa has travelled the world performing and teaching the harp. Luisa is a music degree graduate from The University of Surrey specialising in performance and conducting.

She was taught by the acclaimed harpist Thelma Owen (principle of RPO). During her university and former years she won a variety of performance awards as well as scholarships to attend European summer schools. She was awarded the prestigious University Crosier-Hughes performance award two years in succession.

Luisa is regularly invited to perform for dignitaries including HM The Queen, HRH Duke of Edinburgh, The Lord Chancellor and various Heads of State. She was also the resident harpist at Warwick castle for three years before moving to Surrey.

An experienced recitalist and orchestral player she regularly performs for music societies, music festivals and at many of the UK’s principal concert halls, including St Johns Smith square, The Barbican, Banqueting House in Whitehall, The Queen Elizabeth Hall and the Edinburgh Festival as a solo recitalist and as part of duos with Soprano Sarah-Jane Dale, Flautist Nicholas Cartlidge and Poet Christala Rosina.

Her concert work has taken her to the USA, Portugal, France, Russia, Poland, Scandinavia and Belgium. This has also included many television and radio interviews and broadcasts. These broadcasts have included features on BBC radio stations, Florida and Southern French radio stations, ‘Look East’ news when attempting a world record to perform a hundred concerts in a week with soprano Sarah-Jane Dale to raise money for the Tadworth Children’s trust, Children’s BBC with two talented pupils and NBC TV in America.

She was recently featured in ‘Classical Music Magazine’ with Sarah-Jane Dale. Her latest solo CD album is called ‘Circle of Light.’

She is frequently the featured classical artiste on the International Majestic Page & Moy cruise ships travelling all over the world. As an orchestral player she has performed with numerous orchestras including The London Sinfonietta, Sinfonia Viva, Opera North, Bournemouth Symphony orchestra players, The Isle of Wight Symphony Orchestra and the Mahler orchestra.

"Hi Sarah-Jane, Just a quick note to say how pleased we were with Luisa on Friday. She played beautifully and her choice of dress complemented our colour scheme completely including an ivory rose in her hair. Many of our guest said how nice she looked and how beautiful the music. The whole day was fantastic. Best wishes "
