Milo Harper is devoted to showcasing the harp’s rich history and poetic depth. A graduate of London and New York conservatories, he is now performing with the Berlin State Opera. An acclaimed soloist, he has earned numerous awards and regularly plays in leading orchestras.

Following his recital for BIF last year, he returns with a programme ranging Mozart to Bartók, ending with an operatic showpiece by a leading English harpist of the 19th century.
