Luisa-Maria Cordell
Award-winning harpist Luisa-Maria Cordell has travelled the world performing and teaching the harp. She received her training from tutors at The Royal College, Royal Academy and The Guildhall and graduated with a music degree from the University of Surrey specialising in harp performance. Luisa-Maria is now considered to be one of the foremost harpists of her generation.
During her university and former years she won a variety of performance awards as well as scholarships to attend European summer schools. She was awarded the prestigious University Crosier-Hughes performance award two years in succession.
An experienced recitalist and orchestral player, Luisa regularly plays at many of the UK’s principal concert halls, including St John’s Smith Square, The Barbican, Banqueting House in Whitehall and The Queen Elizabeth Hall. Her concert work has taken her to the USA, Portugal, France, Russia, Poland, Scandinavia and Belgium and resulted in many television and radio broadcasts.
Luisa-Maria has played for many dignitaries including HM The Queen, HRH Duke of Edinburgh, The Lord Chancellor and various Heads of State. She has performed with some of UK’s leading orchestras including the London Sinfonietta, the London Academic orchestra, the Central Festival orchestra, the East of England Orchestra (Sinfonia Viva), Opera North and the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra Players. She was also the resident harpist at Warwick Castle for three years.
Luisa-Maria is additionally a recording artist, and has brought out two CDs, A Million Pearls and The Nightingale, in collaboration with leading soprano Sarah-Jane Dale. Luisa-Maria also has two popular solo CDs to her name, a collection of harp favourites entitled The Swan and a compilation of especially relaxing compositions called The Circle of Light. She is currently planning to record Einaudi’s piano works for harp.
The Surrey International Harp Ensemble performed a version of Sting’s Fields of Gold arranged for harp by Jonathan in collaboration with Luisa during the Ensemble’s tour of Wales in August 2006. During their 2007 tour to Paris, the Ensemble performed Jonathan’s arrangement of The Beatles’ All You Need is Love.
