Biography

"Noa's talent and professionalism added an elegant atmosphere to our event at London Fashion Week, and we will be hiring her for future events without hesitation. Multiple celebrity and successful guests commented on the quality of the music and how impressed they were by the artistry and sophistication Noa's live music brought to the room."

- Steve Sharpe, organiser of the fashion show at Beaufort House (part of London Fashion Week 2019)

Noa is a harpist, based near Bicester (Oxfordshire), with several years of experience playing at weddings, functions, orchestras, and recording sessions throughout England and Wales. She covers South Wales, the East, South (including London and the home counties), and West of England as well as the Midlands and surrounding areas. She also travels internationally for work.

She started playing the harp when she was 7 years old with various teachers, including Catrin Morris-Jones. After 7 years, she began to study with Karen Vaughan (head of harp at the Royal Academy of Music and former co-principal harpist of the London Symphony Orchestra).

In December 2018, she was given the opportunity to play with the Royal Welsh College harp department and the royal harpist, Anne Denholm, in front of the Prince of Wales for his 70th birthday celebrations.

She has played with various orchestras and ensembles, including Duet Philharmonic Orchestra, Rhondda Symphony Orchestra, Leicester University Orchestra, London School Symphony Orchestra, Watford School of Music Youth Orchestra, and Hertfordshire County Youth Orchestra. Additionally, she was previously the first reserve harpist for The National Youth orchestra. Playing in these orchestras has provided her with opportunities to play at well-known venues, such as The Royal Albert Hall, Royal Festival Hall, Barbican, BBC Hoddinott Hall (in the Wales Millenium Centre), and the Birmingham Symphony Hall.

Weddings:
Noa provides live music for ceremonies (including the guests’ arrival beforehand), the drinks receptions, and the wedding breakfast.

Events and Corporate Functions:
She provides live background music for a range of functions, most notably London fashion week. The Harp is suitable for any event from a surprise birthday party to playing at luxury events.

Music:
Music choices are catered to each client based on their personal preferences. They can choose from an extensive repertoire list or they can request songs that are not on there. Upon consultation, short samples can be sent to clients so they get a taste of what their requested songs will sound like on the day. She can also guide clients in their music choices by suggesting music that will suit their event.
