Becki Luff and Lucy Nolan formed the Chroma Harp Duo in 2016. Recently featured artists on BBC Radio 3, the Duo are crafting a name for themselves as commissioners, creators, and performers. They are finalists in the Wales International Harp Festival, first prize winners at the London Camac Harp Competition, and winners of UK Harp Association’s prize for the best performance of a new British work.

Drawing and engaging with a wide range of composers, musical styles and sounds, the duo challenge the classical harp stereotype with concerts that take audiences on a kaleidoscopic journey exploring the traditional backdrop of harp writing with composers such as Marcel Tournier and Carlos Salzedo, as well as new sounds including Indian ragas and using the harp as a percussion instrument.

Becki is a soloist and chamber musician, specialising in contemporary classical music and improvisation. She currently performs with Epiphany Music. Lucy’s work ranges from solo recitals to appearing on TV and performing with professional orchestras such as the Hallé and Royal Northern Sinfonia.
