Biography
Alice is an award-winning harpist from Manchester, known for her versatile performances at weddings, corporate events, orchestral concerts, and solo recitals.
A graduate of Manchester’s prestigious Joint Course, Alice earned a First-Class degree in Music from the University of Manchester in 2018 and an Upper classification as a Graduate of the Royal Northern College of Music (GRNCM) in 2019. During her studies, she won numerous accolades, including the Procter-Gregg Prize (2016 and 2018), the Graucob Award, and became the first harpist to win the RNCM Gold Medal competition in 2020, the conservatoire's highest performance prize.
Alice is passionate about exploring diverse styles on the harp. In 2018, she studied jazz harp under Park Stickney in Switzerland and has since collaborated with a variety of artists, including folk duo Good Habits, vocalist and violinist Alice Zawadzki, and jazz saxophonist Jasmine Myra. With Jasmine’s band, Alice has performed at major festivals and venues such as We Out Here, Love Supreme, and Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie.
In 2021, Alice joined the band of renowned spiritual jazz artist Matthew Halsall, recording and touring extensively. Her performances as part of Halsall’s 2023 An Ever Changing View album tour took her to iconic venues across Europe, including the Barbican Hall, Royal Albert Hall, and Zurich’s Moods jazz club.
A skilled arranger and adaptable performer, Alice creates tailor-made music for any event and is happy to accommodate special song requests. She performs widely as a soloist in the North West and collaborates regularly with orchestras, bringing her distinctive talent to every performance.
