4 girls 4 harps is an ensemble made up of… well 4 girls who play the harp. We went along to their rehearsal this week and filmed them playing some of their amazing arrangements of familiar classics.

The four harpists have made a name for themselves with their unusual, dramatic arrangements of well-known works (arranged by Harriet Adie and Eleanor Turney, who also play in the quartet).

They're currently in rehearsal ahead of recording their first album (released in October), so we went along to catch them in action.
