Elinor
Bennett's programmes show the versatility of an artist
equally at home with the music of today's composers and
those of earlier times. Her
musical repertoire ranges from the early Middle Ages to
modern times and includes all the major Concerti and chamber
music compositions for the harp as well as the work of
modern composers. She has played with many leading ensembles
and chamber groups, and in duos and trios with a variety
of instruments, including flute, violin, cello, and voice.
