Described by Paste Magazine as a harpist “who really nails experimental pop music,” Natalie Lurie is a classically trained harpist and composer whose work spans concert halls and recording studios alike. Based in London, she is recognised for her versatility and artistry, performing with leading classical ensembles while also maintaining an active presence in contemporary and popular music scenes.

Natalie began her professional career as a harp fellow with the London Philharmonia and has since established herself as a sought-after freelance harpist. Her recent engagements include performances with the London Contemporary Music Festival Orchestra, King’s College Boys Choir, and the Corinthian Chamber Orchestra. She has participated in international festivals and masterclasses in France, studying with renowned harpists such as Isabelle Moretti, Isabelle Perrin, Sylvain Blassel, and Marie-Pierre Langlamet. In 2014, she was a featured performer at the 150th anniversary celebration of Lyon & Healy, one of the world’s foremost harp manufacturers.

In parallel with her classical work, Natalie has developed a distinct voice in contemporary music. A committed advocate for expanding the harp’s expressive possibilities, she has studied jazz harp with Park Stickney and is widely recognised for her pop and instrumental arrangements. Her rendition of Adele’s Rolling in the Deep  has garnered over 350,000 views online, and her arrangement of David Ramirez’s hit single led to a collaborative performance with the Americana artist at his London show.

Following her graduation from Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, Natalie recorded at the legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama, working with original session musicians including legendary Wurlitzer player Spooner Oldham. She later relocated to Nashville, where she released her debut EP, No Mercy in the Night, which was praised by The Huffington Post for its “remarkably luscious” orchestration. Now based in London, she continues to collaborate with UK-based producers and independent artists. Her most recent single, Small Crimes, was featured in the season finale of Netflix’s Grace and Frankie.

Natalie began her studies on the harp at the age of seven and has trained with many of the leading harp pedagogues, including Germaine Lorenzini, Skaila Kanga, Isabelle Moretti, Isabelle Perrin, Karen Vaughan, Sivan Magen, and Susann McDonald. She holds a Bachelor of Music from Indiana University and a Master of Arts with Honours from the Royal Academy of Music.

Dedicated to music education, Natalie teaches privately and at South Hampstead High School for Girls, Channing, and Dragon School. In 2018, she was granted a UK Entrepreneur Visa sponsored by the Royal Academy of Music, enabling her to co-found the Hampstead Harp Centre, which offers ensemble coaching, chamber music, and performance opportunities for young harpists.
