_______________________________________________________________
Based in London and Oxford, Tori is a young creative musician and artist. She performs as a soloist and with various bands nationwide and internationally, recently on tour with Nigel Kennedy's band.
Tori performs regularly for weddings and corporate events, and will add a classic yet contemporary touch to any event. She has performed at venues from the Tower of London to Brick Lane, and is currently recommended by venues including Blenheim Palace and Highclere Castle.
Building on her original classical training, being taught the piano from the age of 3 by her mum, then as a music scholar from the age of 10, and now an Associate of the London College of Music, she has embraced many other styles of music including jazz, rock and latin. Tori also writes and performs her own contemporary music for the harp, which has also greatly influenced the music she performs for private events and specialises in arranging and performing contemporary music for the harp, from the more expected to the unexpected!
