ELEANOR TURNER

Eleanor Turner is one of the world's leading harpists, creating intriguing and meaningful live experiences, as well as contributing to other artists’ projects. Her western classical technique informs, but does not inhibit, her choices as she carves a unique path through her life and career. Eleanor is a passionate advocate for new music, an avid composer, curator and educator. 

Tāla Tarang (meaning ‘rhythm waves’) is the vibrant and dynamic pairing of tabla maestro Mendi Singh and harp virtuoso Eleanor Turner; an electrifying fusion of rhythmic grooves and intricate melodies. The pair have enjoyed a ten year partnership; "creatively weaving strands of traditional, contemporary, folk, and classical music into a musical tapestry reflecting world cultures and celebrating humanity” Dr. Bob Ramdhanie, MBE.
