The Welsh-born musician performed at the King’s coronation at Westminster Abbey last year, playing an arrangement of Sir Karl Jenkins’ Tros Y Garreg on the gold harp, alongside the specially formed Coronation Orchestra.
Huws studied at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and it was there in 2019 that Charles appointed her as the Official Harpist to the Prince of Wales.When he became King, Huws became the Royal Harpist. She has described the coronation as the “pinnacle” of her five-year career. On Friday, it was announced that record label Decca Classics had signed Huws, with her debut EP being released later this year. She has also released her own arrangement of her favourite Welsh folk song Tra Bo Dau for solo harp.“I had a day last year when I was at home in mid-Wales helping with the sheep and lambs from about six in the morning until lunchtime, then I hopped on a train to London and spent the whole evening playing in St James’s Palace,” she said.
“As an artist, I feel that you have a responsibility to reach people who can’t reach you, rather than expect them to come and find you in a concert hall,” she said. “Often, my most rewarding and uplifting experiences come from bringing music into the community and finding the people who can really benefit from hearing live music.”Readers’ comments: You are personally liable for the content of any comments you upload to this website, so please act responsibly.
