about

"Pre-eminently thoughtful and compelling, she draws sounds of deep soulfulness and will-o-the-wisp rustlings. Her Lever Harp sings sweetly and the recording is beautifully judged." BBC Music Magazine

"I think you're going to like this album... rather fabulous it is, too" Simon Mayo - Scala Radio Album of the Week

LAUREN SCOTT fell in love with the harp aged four after seeing a historic lever harp in a museum in Western Australia. After two years of pestering her parents she began harp lessons aged six when her family moved back to England.

Lauren studied harp at Trinity College of Music and has a busy portfolio musical career. As an established and in demand freelance player, she plays guest principal harp with many of the UK’s leading orchestras and chamber groups as well as pursuing her own projects. Her harp playing has led her to performing in venues across the UK from the Royal Albert Hall to West End shows to commercial recordings to live broadcasts on radio and TV.

Over the last 20 years Lauren has worked as guest principal harp with Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Hallé Orchestra, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, BBC Concert Orchestra, BBC Symphony Orchestra, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Manchester Camerata, Royal Northern Sinfonia, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Britten Sinfonia, Ensemble Cymru and is the regular harpist with the Picture House Orchestra, Northern Chamber Orchestra and Psappha Contemporary Music Group.

Lauren has been actively involved in the UK harp community, acting as Chairman of the United Kingdom Harp Association for 5 years. Keen to support the next generation of musicians, Lauren founded a not-for-profit organization in 2010 that with the help of volunteers hosts eight concerts per season, combining professional musicians with local young musicians whilst raising money for local charities. Along with an annual Youth Music competition, over 500 young musicians have either performed or taken part in workshops with the concert series thus far.

A lifelong passion for the lever harp has led her to composing new enjoyable and accessible music that is influenced by her diverse experiences in the music industry; from regularly performing in symphonic and chamber orchestras, to working in pop sessions and collaborating with composers in the contemporary classical sphere. Her published music for lever harp is included on the Trinity Grade syllabus and has received praise from harpists and harp societies around the world.

Lauren Scott plays on Salvi, Camac and Starfish harps.
