Hailed as a harpist “who really nails experimental pop music" (Paste Magazine), Natalie Lurie is a classically-trained harpist and singer-songwriter based in London. With a versatile background in different genres, she has command of the stage whether it be at Royal Festival Hall or The Bluebird in Nashville. A recipient of the MMSF harp fellowship with the London Philharmonia, her classical freelance career in London has included engagements with ensembles such as the London Contemporary Music Festival Orchestra, the King’s College Boys Choir, and the Guernsey Symphony Orchestra. She has participated in international music festivals and masterclasses in France where she studied with Isabelle Moretti, Isabelle Perrin, Sylvain Blassel and Marie-Pierre Langlamet, and was a featured performer at the 150th anniversary celebration of Lyon & Healy, the world's leading harp manufacturers.

Natalie has had a long-standing interest in expanding the harp beyond its traditional classical genre. She studied with Jazz harpist Park Stickney, and has gained recognition for her instrumental pop arrangements on the harp. Her rendition of Adele's hit Rolling in the Deep received over a quarter of a million views on YouTube, and her collaboration of Gotye's Somebody That I Used to Know with percussionist Evan Chapman, earned the two a personal invitation from Gotye to meet him at his show in Chicago. After graduating from Indiana University, she recorded at the legendary studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama where she worked with original session musicians from the 1960s. She then established herself as a recording harpist and singer/songwriter in Nashville, TN. In March 2016, Natalie released her debut EP No Mercy in the Night, of which The Huffington Post called the orchestration "remarkably luscious."  Songwriting Magazine wrote "There's a real grace and effortlessness to Lurie's songwriting." Natalie currently freelances as a session harpist in London, collaborating with several UK-based producers and indie/rock bands. Most recently, her single “Small Crimes” was featured on the season finale of Netflix’s Grace and Frankie.

Natalie began her studies on the harp when she was seven years old and has studied with many of the world's leading harpists, notably Germaine Lorenzini, Isabelle Moretti, Skaila Kanga, Isabelle Perrin, Karen Vaughan, Sivan Magen, and Susann McDonald. Natalie holds a Bachelor’s of Music from Indiana University and an MA (Hons) from the Royal Academy of Music. During her studies at Indiana University, Natalie won the harp concerto competition and was awarded a scholarship through the Huttons Honor College to study a semester in Lyon, France with Germaine Lorenzini. Passionate about music education, Natalie teaches privately and at South Hampstead High School for Girls and Channing. In 2018, she was awarded a UK Entrepreneur Visa, sponsored by the Royal Academy of Music, to co-found Hampstead Harp Centre for young London-based harpists offering harp ensemble, chamber music and performance classes.
