A deeply personal recital from renowned harpist Pippa Reid-Foster from the West coast of Scotland, exploring themes of resilience and recovery.
The Hermitage is a magical folly known as Ossian's Hall that sits deep in the woods within this beautiful Perthshire forest: https://www.visitscotland.com/info/see-do/the-hermitage-p249731. PARKING available, free for NTS members & £4 for non-members, the venue is a short walk from the carp-park.
This will be a deeply intimate, private concert with just 26 tickets available.
Performed on both pedal & lever harps, the program features music from Pippa’s new album, including a powerful new suite and a collection of original works. Audiences will also be transported by mesmerizing arrangements of contemporary minimalism from Philip Glass, Max Richter, and Ludovico Einaudi, infused with the harp’s ethereal beauty.
Born from the journey of healing after a wrist injury, this recital is more than music – it’s a story told through delicate melodies, rich harmonies and heartfelt storytelling. Expect an unforgettable performance filled with emotion, virtuosity, and breathtaking sound.

“The harp can be simultaneously haunting and jaunty, and her virtuosity creates something akin to a rhythm guitar...showcasing Reid-Foster’s skill as a composer as well as a performer.” Tony Gillam, Songlines
“Pippa’s own compositions show her evident talent and ability to move beyond the traditional to achieve a much more abstract and modern sound….”
