Mary Reid, Harpist

We’re delighted to have again partnered with Live Music Now Scotland for a series of three free lunchtime concerts from a variety of musicians with programmes on the theme of “Questioning?”. Live Music Now Scotland’s mission is to bring high-quality live music to people throughout Scotland, particularly those who would otherwise not have access to its transforming benefits and ability to effect societal change. We hope you can join us for one or more of these fabulous recitals!

Mary absolutely loves taking the harp to settings where people might not otherwise hear live music and goes regularly into schools, day centres and hospitals. Mary works with the Live Music Now scheme, leading workshops and mentoring younger musicians in SEN settings, as well as giving participatory performances for adults living with dementia. For two years she played weekly on wards at St Mary’s Hospital after volunteering there in 2020/21. Mary also regularly performs with the All Souls’ Orchestra and the King’s Chamber Orchestra. .
