Eleanor Turner is one of the most versatile harpists of her generation and a one-of-a-kind performer specialising in electro acoustic harp and composing. She has an impressive array of international prizes to her name, including First Prize in the European Harp Competition 2007 and Second Prize in the Gaudeamus Interpreters Competition 2011 in Amsterdam. Eleanor has just written her first music book, Lullabies for the Land, which features harp arrangements of 18 lullabies from around our planet, including three from Palestine. All profits are being split between Ghassan Abu Sittah Children’s Fund and Middle East Children’s Alliance.
Eleanor is half of Tāla Tarang, tabla and harp with Mendi Singh, and regularly performs with flautist Lisa Nelsen and cellist Clare O’Connell.
Eleanor started learning the harp at the age of 5, thanks to her Scottish mother loving music and being a fan of Harpo Marx. She studied at the Royal College of Music Junior Department every Saturday for 7 years with Daphne Boden and made her London concerto debut at the age of fifteen, with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields conducted by Daniel Harding and broadcast live on Classic Fm. Alison Nicholls then taught and inspired Eleanor in solo and chamber music for the next seven years. Eleanor also has a busy life in the studio, with highlights so far including working with Jonny Greenwood, Voces8, Ruti, Cassell the Beatmaker, Subculture, Tertia May, Deacon, Oliver Coates and Freemonk.
