Brenda Dor-Groot

London-based Dutch harpist with classical roots, a passion for the blues, and a pioneering spirit.

I perform and teach blues, jazz, classical music and free improvisation. I also enjoy an affair with house / electronic dance music. Equally at home on pedal and lever harp, acoustic and electric, my harp practise is as varied as it gets!

While I have ample ties with my birthplace The Netherlands, and called both Germany and the US home for a while, I am now living in London with my husband and two sons, a bunny and a caboodle of musical instruments.
