World renowned harpist, Catrin Finch has delighted audiences and critics alike with her performances worldwide. Inspired to take up the harp at the age of six, her rise to prominence started early, when at the age of nine, she achieved the highest-ever mark in the UK for her Associated Board Grade Eight exam. In 200O, following her studies with harp maestro Elinor Bennett and at London's world-class Purcell School with Skaila Kanga, she shot to international stardom as the first Royal Harpist since Queen Victoria's reign; a four-year role that saw her playing at Royal Palaces across the world. In her year of graduation in 2OO2, she received the Queen's Award for the most outstanding student of her year at the Royal Academy of Music.

Catrin has appeared with top symphony and chamber orchestras worldwide in many prestigious venues, notably the Boston Pops, the New York Philharmonic, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the BBC Concert Orchestra, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, the London Mozart Players, the Charlotte Symphony, the North Carolina Symphony and the Manchester Camerata. International music festival appearances include Salzburg, Edinburgh, Spoleto, Smithsonian Folklife, MDR Musiksommer Festival in Leipzig, and Le Domaine Forget and Lanaudiere Festivals in Canada.
