Overview
Born in London, Amy Harman studied at the Royal College of Music and the Akademie Múzických in Prague, and since 2011 has been Principal Bassoon of the Philharmonia Orchestra. As a chamber musician she is a member of Ensemble 360 and attended Open Chamber Music at Prussia Cove in 2015. This season she tours California with Camerata Pacifica and gives solo recitals throughout the UK.
‘…the high point of the evening was the playing of Amy Harman….who gave the most stunning performance of immense artistry and the most assured technical ability in her exquisite performance of Weber’s Bassoon Concerto. The sheer tonal beauty of sound she magically drew from her instrument was memorable indeed.’ Musicweb International, Arthur Butterworth
