Recently featured artists on BBC Radio 3, the Chroma Harp Duo are crafting a name for themselves as commissioners, creators and performers. Drawing and engaging with a wide range of composers, musical styles and sounds, the duo challenge the classical harp stereotype with concerts that take audiences on a kaleidoscopic journey exploring new sounds from Indian ragas to live electronics and using the harp as a percussion instrument, This year Chroma have recorded and performed a number of new works by composers Amy Turk, Supriya Nagarajan and Hari Baskar and in 2017 they gave the European premiere of 'Scorpions' by Paul Patterson. They were invited to perform in the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment’s inaugural Live at The Hex performance series and have been guest artists at the Hong Kong World Harp Congress and Buxton International Festival. The duo were finalists in the Wales International Harp Festival and first prize winners at the London Camac Harp Ensemble Competition as well as being awarded the UK Harp Association’s prize for the best performance of a new British work. “Thank you both for a truly fantastic concert yesterday. The response was utter astonishment. Thanks again for an immersive experience and imaginative repertoire.” - Leeds International Concert Season
