Catrin Finch - Tides (2015)

Versatile, fearless and extraordinary are all words that have been used to describe Catrin Finch, the world-renowned classical harpist, arranger and composer from Wales. Catrin is already a household name for her hugely successful international classical career, giving recitals and playing with orchestras worldwide.

But Catrin’s 2015 UK tour marks an exciting new phase in her remarkable musical career; it accompanies the launch of her new album Tides, and marks the first time her own material has appeared as a body of work on stage and on record. It reveals a new side of an exceptional artist, driven to explore the possibilities of the harp and a lifetime of musical influences. As Catrin says, “All my musical life is here”.

As Catrin plays harp and piano, she is joined by a string section and other guest musicians to present her new album live on stage.

Catrin appears fresh from her multi-award winning collaboration with kora player Seckou Keita, which has won her music industry awards from Songlines Magazine, fRoots and two BBC Radio 2 Folk nominations as well as a clutch of 4 and 5 star press reviews.

Expect a beautiful musical journey from an extraordinary musician who is at the forefront of her remarkable art.
