Meredith studied the harp and celtic harp at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama with Sanchia Pielou, a founder member and principal harpist with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra for fifty years and regarded as the “doyen” of the harp in Scotland. After winning the subject prize for harp and earning a glowing report in the Governors’ Recital Competition, Meredith graduated in 1984 with a BA in Music Performance.
After highly acclaimed performances of Mozart’s Concerto for flute and harp, A Ceremony of Carols, (Britten’s solo harp and choral work), and programmes of Opera with the RSAMD’s drama department, she went on to perform Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro for harp , flute, clarinet and string quartet. This was immediately followed by an invitation from Scottish Ballet to join the orchestra as principal harpist in 1985.
Meredith has enjoyed playing her harp for guests, from such prestigious venues as Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland to the Hilton in Hong Kong, and is now very much in demand as harpist for weddings, corporate events, private parties and other celebrations.
