Elver Harp Ensemble
Gráinne teaches harp and piano lessons privately for individuals and groups, as well as leading workshops and classes throughout the UK and Ireland.
Private lessons are held in Gráinne's teaching studio in Moneyglass/Toomebridge, but arrangements can be made if you would like lessons at your own home or elsewhere.
A harp is provided during lessons, so there is no need to bring your own. Rental harps are also available if you do not have your own to practice on outside of lessons.
If you are interested in booking a harp workshop or class, please get in touch for availability.
Gráinne set up the Elver Harp Ensemble in October 2017 to give young harpists opportunities to perform together. Since then the group have been performing regularly and have won 1st place at the Ballymena festival in the ensemble competition, and were the first ever group in the history of the competition to be awarded a perfect score of 100/100. They were subsequently invited to perform at the festival gala evening. The have been invited to perform at the World Harp Congress in Wales in July 2020.
They have been guest performers at the Cairde Na Cruite festival in 2018 and 2019, as well as participating and performing in National Harp day events in 2018 and 2019. The have recorded for “Sessions on the house” and have been featured by Classic FM. They recently performed at the launch of the Antrim Fleadh and the "Gig 'n' the Bann" festival and were awarded first place at the Busk ‘n’ Bann 2019 competition.
The ensemble performs a broad range of repertoire consisting of Irish traditional music from our local area and beyond. We perform our own arrangements, devised collectively as an ensemble.
