AMY HARMAN bassoon

A passionate advocate for the bassoon, Amy is much sought after as a soloist, chamber musician, teacher and communicator, regularly featuring on BBC Radio 3.    

As a soloist highlights have included appearing with Birmingham Opera in Stockhausen’s Mittwoch aus Licht and performing Strauss's Concertino with  English Chamber Orchestra.   She regularly takes part in festivals across Europe, including the Parnu, Tbilisi, West Cork, Ryedale and Mizmorima Festivals.  In 2017 she returned to Wigmore Hall and was featured artist at Southwell Music Festival.

Engagements this season include a performance of Mozart’s Concerto at the Festival Suoni dal Golfo in Lerici, Italy with Orchestra Excellence, and recitals throughout the UK including Saffron Hall, Brighton Dome, and the Royal Conservatoire Scotland.

In 2011 Amy was appointed principal of the Philharmonia Orchestra at the age of 23.   Sought after as guest principal with leading orchestras in Europe including the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, she is currently principal of Aurora Orchestra.

The supreme eloquence of bassoonist Amy Harman’s solos will stay with me.
