About

This is the debut album by Claire Jones, who has been appointed the official Royal Harpist to HRH The Prince of Wales. On it she performs a varied reprtoire, from Ravel’s ‘Pavane’ and Handel’s ‘Prelude’ and ‘Toccata’ to the melody from Gershwin’s ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ and Fats Waller’s ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’,  accompanied by an orchestra, jazz band and percussion.

Since her appointment as Royal harpist appointment in June 2007, Claire Jones has performed for His Royal Highness on a number of occasions at prestigious venues such as Clarence House, Cardiff Castle, and Dumphries House, Scotland. Claire performed as soloist at the opening gala of the European Harp Symposium at the Millennium Centre Cardiff, where she also appeared alongside predecessors Catrin Finch and Jemima Phillips for the performance of a piece written especially by Karl Jenkins.
