Tomos Xerri, Claire Wickes

Tomos Xerri is in high demand as a harpist, with solo performances in the past two years at the Wigmore Hall, St Martin-in-the-Fields, St John’s Smith Square and the 1901 Arts Club in Waterloo, and has also given solo performances for members of the Royal Family including HM the Queen.

Tomos has won prizes at many international competitions such as First Medal at the UFAM International Harp Competition in Paris, and has been grateful to be the recipient of prestigious awards such as the Hattori Foundation Senior Award in 2016-17 (the first harpist to have done this) and the Philharmonia Orchestra's Martin Music Scholarship Award.

In 2016 Tomos has been shortlisted as a Park Lane Group Young Artist and was a finalist at the renowned Camac Harp Competition. He is an experienced chamber musician and has performed Ravel's Introduction and Allegro live on prime-time BBC News at the opening night of the Cutty Sark concert space in Greenwich, and recently has begun giving recitals with Claire Wickes, principal flautist of the English National Opera.
