The Harp Unleashed exhibits the versatility of two harps. The accessible music uses some unusual playing techniques, featuring items such as chopsticks, drumming, castanets and bluetack. It is still firmly rooted in classical harp virtuosity but also showcases an exciting new side to the instrument. Lucy Nolan and Becki Luff formed The Chroma Harp Duo in 2016 whilst studying at the Royal Northern College of Music. Both harpists are passionate about contemporary music and as an ensemble commission and work with current composers on new works.
