The Magic of a 

Thousand Strings

The International Harp Ensemble began with just eight enthusiasts and their director Luisa-Maria Cordell. Today the ensemble has grown to twenty seven harpists in under two years.

Their popularity can be attributed to the uniqueness of finding so many truly dedicated harpists playing together, as well as their high standard of performance. The sound of just one harp is beautiful, but when so many are brought together their sound brings a whole new dimension and experience to stage and music lovers everywhere.

The harpists travel from all over the UK and Europe to have fun and enjoy the unique experience this ensemble offers.

Despite the logistical problems associated with the transportation of so many harps, the enthusiasm of the players has already seen them perform in many concerts throughout the UK and Europe.

The International Harp Ensemble has the dual benefit of providing both the harpists and the audience with a truly unique experience of seeing and listening to the magic of a thousand strings.
