SUMMARY:Classical Concert and Cream Tea: Eira Lynn Jones (Harpist)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the perfect Sunday afternoon out…  \n\n\n\nWe look forward to continuing our Launde Abbey Concert Series throughout 2025\, bringing you intimate classical performances from the finest musicians. Join us for an hour of enchanting classical music in our medieval chapel\, followed by the famous Launde Abbey Cream Tea. \n\n\n\nEIRA LYNN JONES \n\n\n\nWelsh harpist Eira Lynn Jones’ passion for all things harp makes her a true ambassador for this magical instrument. She combines the three strands of her illustrious career as a performer\, teacher and composer. Her two solo albums gained critical acclaim\, showcasing her imaginative programming on both pedal and lever harp. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“I love the album … a diversity of music\, a very accomplished technique and your heart shining through” Alan Stivell \n\n\n\nEira is committed to introducing the harp to wider audiences\, resulting in an eclectic range of work: recordings with the Black Dyke Brass Band and the heavy metal group Venom\, tours with the Morriston Orpheus Male Voice Choir and with Aled Jones for Songs of Praise\, playing in Spain for HRH the Prince of Wales … and appearing in two episodes of Coronation Street\, watched by 16 million people. She has performed in Johannesburg\, Copenhagen\, New York\, Seville\, Athens\, Reykjavik and Dublin\, as well as on S4C\, BBC Radio 3\, Radio 4 … and Radio 1! \n\n\n\nAs an orchestral player she regularly plays with the Hallé\, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and the BBC Philharmonic\, appearing in concerts\, recordings and at the Proms. She was Principal Harp with Northern Ballet Theatre and has been a guest player with the BBC NOW\, English National Ballet\, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra\, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra.  \n\n\n\nEira is widely recognised as one of the UK’s leading harp teachers\, and was Head of Harp at the Royal Northern College of Music for nearly 30 years. She has given workshops in South Africa\, Iceland\, Denmark\, Sweden\, Greece\, USA and now gives online coaching to harpists worldwide: from Newark to New Zealand! \n\n\n\nAs a composer she is inspired by the stories around her\, from medieval tales to contemporary events. She was selected as composer for Illumine Theatre’s audio drama Tremolo\, now available on major podcast channels. She recently collaborated with the multi-award winning dance company\, DanceSyndrome\, whose members have Down’s Syndrome. They jointly performed her Sunken Forest Suite: a retelling of the Welsh legend Cantre’r Gwaelod\, highlighting the rising sea levels of today. \n\n\n\n“A musician who grabs hold of your heart and holds it safely in her care when playing the harp” \n\n\n\nwww.eiralynnjones.com \n\n\n\nLaunde Classical Concerts offer the chance to hear an hour-long live concert in the company of some of the country’s leading performers\, followed by a gorgeous Launde cream tea. \n\n\n\nA Launde Abbey Fundraising Event. \n\n\n\nTickets £22 (or £17 for concert only).
