Welcome to Eleanor's website!
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. As well as being a harpist, Eleanor is a composer, curator, activist - in particular gathering people together to stand against cultural erasure and genocide - and teacher. Here you'll find details of her current projects, her concerts, recording work and her ensembles.
